A recent study from health tech corporation Radicle Science demonstrated that cannabidiol improved the well-being of participants by 70% or so. There were 13 CBD brands from the US in the so-called Radicle Advancing CBD Education and Science study, alongside around 3,000 people. Radicle Science studied CBD to determine whether cannabis derivatives with cannabidiol deliver therapeutic advantages across health outcomes, namely well-being, pain over a longer period, sleep quality, anxiety and quality of life. There are anecdotal pieces of evidence about CBD health benefits, but these studies are necessary to substantiate the claims on cannabidiol’s advantages.
Initial findings suggest that a large number of study participants had clinically meaningful health improvements. It means that they experienced palpable and distinct improvements in their standard of health and comfort through betterments in the health results studied. Across all the studied results, the researchers concerned observed the biggest improvements in the first seven days of the experiment. Here are some of the key findings of this study on cannabidiol health benefits.
- Cannabidiol improved the well-being of study participants by 70% on average.
- It improved the anxiety levels of 63% of the participants in a way that is clinically meaningful.
- It made the quality of sleep better in 61% of the participants in the same way.
- It improved the pain levels of 47% of the participants in the said way.
- Around 60% of the participants reported that they experienced CBD effects 1 to 4 hours after using cannabidiol.
Radicle Science Spokesperson Pelin Thorogood stated that the company looks to make the standard of transparency and trust about widely accessible treatment options that healthcare service providers demand and customers deserve. As for Thorogood, the intentional and large-scale heterogeneity of Radicle Science research can turn those products for customer health into democratized solutions.
Radicle Science started the study in August 2021 and completed it before Thanksgiving in the least amount of time ever. It also used standardized and validated indices to collect health results from diverse people across an array of ethnicities, behavioral habits, pre-existing conditions, geographies, and age groups. The study over four weeks leveraged a one-of-a-kind approach to get the desired heterogeneity for the participant population and execution speed.
Radicle Science’s approach gathers data from real-world participants when they carry on with their daily lives. Next year, there will be a complete report of Radicle Science’s aggregate and anonymized findings.
