Effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on Resting-state Electroencephalography (EEG) and Neuropathic Pain Severity in People With Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
About this trial
This trial is enrolling individuals with spinal cord injuries to test the effect of Cannabidiol (CBD) on pain severity. If included, participants will receive either: 1) CBD on day one followed by placebo within a two week follow-up period; or 2) placebo first followed by CBD. Researchers will measure the effect of CBD on pain symptoms, pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and skin sensitivity to hot and cold temperature; they will also measure the effect of CBD on brain electrical activity using electroencephalography (EEG). Final testing will be performed 3 hours after each intervention.
