Trial summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. However, non-motor symptoms, particularly anxiety and depression, are also common and substantially affect patients' daily functioning and quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Different Concentrations of Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD) Full-spectrum Oil Solutions in the Treatment of Depressive and Anxiety Disorders in Parkinson's Disease Patients.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. However, non-motor symptoms, particularly anxiety and depression, are also common and substantially affect patients' daily functioning and quality of life. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating constituent of Cannabis sativa, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anxiolytic properties and has shown therapeutic potential in several clinical settings.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of full-spectrum CBD oil administered at three different doses (30 mg/day, 60 mg/day, and 300 mg/day) as adjunctive therapy for anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. This randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging clinical trial enrolled 27 participants with Parkinson's disease and moderate anxiety-depressive symptoms. Participants aged 40 to 70 years, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at least four years before enrollment and presenting with moderate or greater anxiety-depressive symptoms, were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive full-spectrum CBD oil at doses of 30 mg/day, 60 mg/day, or 300 mg/day for two months.

Assessments were conducted at baseline, Month 1, Month 2 (end of treatment), and Month 3 (1-month post-treatment follow-up) to evaluate treatment effects and safety after treatment discontinuation. Primary outcomes included changes in anxiety and depression severity measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory-I (BDI-I). Secondary and other pre-specified outcomes included assessments of sleep quality, fatigue, cognitive functioning, psychosis symptoms, quality of life, motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, daytime sleepiness, pain, wearable sensor-derived motor assessments, and participant-rated treatment effectiveness.

The CBD oils used in the study were prepared under controlled conditions and tested to verify CBD concentration and the absence of contaminants, including heavy metals and mold contamination.

Participants were monitored throughout the study for adverse events, including somnolence, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, and potential treatment-related safety concerns. The study evaluated the potential role of CBD as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety and depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease and assessed the safety and tolerability of different CBD dosing regimens.

The duration of participation for each participant was approximately three months, including a two-month treatment period and a one-month follow-up assessment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Full-spectrum Cannabidiol (CBD) oilDietary supplement

    Also called CBD oil, Cannabidiol oil

    Participants will receive full-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD) oil, administered orally as a dietary supplement. CBD oil will be delivered sublingually twice daily during meals. Three dosage groups will be studied: 30 mg/day, 60 mg/day, and 300 mg/day. CBD oil used in the study contains 2000 mg CBD per 30 ml bottle. Each participant will receive blinded bottles labeled with unique identifiers, ensuring double-blind administration. The duration of intervention is 60 days, followed by a one-month follow-up period to assess safety and lasting effects after discontinuation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Full-spectrum Cannabidiol (CBD) oil in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in anxiety symptom severity measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 2 (end of treatment), and Month 3 (1-month post-treatment follow-up)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07651930, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2026.
