Paper: “Trial of Cannabidiol for Drug-Resistant Seizures in the Dravet Syndrome” By Dr. Orrin Devinsky

Summary:

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned 120 children and young adults with the Dravet syndrome and drug-resistant seizures to receive either cannabidiol oral solution at a dose of 20 mg or placebo, in addition to standard antiepileptic treatment. 14-week treatment period.

Results: The median frequency of convulsive seizures per month decreased from 12.4 to 5.9 with cannabidiol, as compared with a decrease from 14.9 to 14.1 with placebo. The percentage of patients who had at least a 50% reduction in convulsive-seizure frequency was 43% with cannabidiol and 27% with placebo

Paper: “A perspective on cannabinoids for treating epilepsy: Do they really change the landscape?” By Dr. Helen Cross

Summary:

In this paper,  Dr. Helen Cross, warns about the risks of artisanal preparations, not only due to the impossibility to check the amount of CBD per flask and its stability but because of the risk of inconsistency or unknown constituents. Because of the characteristics and the elaboration of these flasks it is impossible to perform clinical studies to compare them with pharmaceutical products with GMP
