Background: Cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two major compounds found in the cannabis plant. Reports from patients, families, and the scientific community suggest that CBD (when used as an add-on therapy) decreases the number of convulsive seizures in children and adults
In 2014, the estimated population who were suffering from drug abuse and drug-related disorders reached over 29 million worldwide, making it a global health challenge. Moreover, 43.5 per million people die annually from associated drug use. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
Before the age of 14 years, 1% of the paediatric population will develop a seizure. The only systematically required complementary examination is an electroencephalogram (EEG). Additional biological or radiological examinations depend on the circumstances, the past medical history of the patient and
Epileptic Encephalopathies are a group of epilepsies that develop in children. These epilepsies can cause frequent and difficult to control seizures. Because of the ongoing seizures, these epilepsies can also cause cognitive impairment and neurological impairment.
In many children with these
Specific Aims/Study Objectives
This is a pilot study to explore the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on autonomic cardiac function in children with Dravet syndrome (DS) or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) when the CBD is administered as an artisanal oil. This will be achieved by addressing the following
This is an open-label Phase IIa pilot study of the tolerability and effects on binge drinking of bupropion and naltrexone for binge drinkers.
Participants: Investigators will recruit 12 men or women ages 21-34 years who exhibit a minimum of 5/3 (men/women) or more binge drinking episodes per month
This is an observational study of a family's choice to use MCBD and the effect of this substance on medically refractory epilepsy in children. The risks associated with this use are not well known. There have recently been reports of stroke, liver dysfunction and altered anticonvulsant levels. In
Amphetamine type stimulant (ATS) and opioid abuse, dependence and injection drug use (IDU) are major public health problem in Malaysia and nearby countries (including China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myamar, and Cambodia) and are the major drivers of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in these countries.1
Background
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) is a drug withdrawal syndrome that occurs primarily after antenatal exposure to opiates. Symptoms may be present at birth, but often peak at 48-72 after delivery. The onset of symptoms is affected by the half-life of the opiate used during pregnancy in
Primary objective:
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) provides a non-invasive means of altering brain neural activity. This pilot study will test whether 5 days of rTMS reduces cue-induced cannabis craving and use in cannabis users.
Hypothesis:
We predict that active rTMS will
