Use of CBD Oil for Reducing the Negative Emotional Impact of COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Ph.D Caitlin M Fischer, Michael J Telch
The COVID-19 pandemic heightened mental health challenges, highlighting the need for accessible and scalable interventions. This four-arm randomized placebocontrolled clinical trial compared the relative efficacy of different CBD oil formulations in reducing self-reported COVID-19 stress reactions, including anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, and sleep disturbance. After a baseline symptom assessment, participants (N = 148) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (1) 300 mg of pure CBD isolate, (2) 300 mg of broad-spectrum CBD, (3) 300 mg of full spectrum CBD, or (4) placebo oil. Participants took daily doses of their assigned treatment oil and recorded symptoms, adherence, and side effects in a nightly log over the four-week treatment period. We hypothesized that all three active CBD formulations would result in greater reductions in stress-related symptoms compared to placebo. Additionally, based on preclinical research on the entourage effect, we predicted that full spectrum CBD would outperform CBD isolate. Additional aims included exploring potential moderators of treatment response (e.g., baseline stress reactions) and assessing the safety and tolerability of daily CBD dosing.
TREATMENT DOSING ACROSS CONDITIONS Table 8 presents the average doses across treatment conditions both overall and by treatment week (Weeks 1-4). Averages were calculated by first calculating each participant's average daily dose, followed by averaging these values within each treatment condition. Daily dose averages by condition are illustrated in Figure 8 .

Appendix I: Medication Effects Form People may have different reactions to taking CBD products. While sleepiness or sedation may be the most common reaction, we've included a list of other less common reactions below. If you feel that any of these reactions are strong enough to interfere with your ability to function such as driving a car or operating heavy machinery, please refrain from those activities until these reactions start to subside. Please select the severity rating that best fits your experience in the past 24 hours.

This four-arm randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial compared the relative efficacy of different CBD oil formulations in reducing self-reported COVID-19 stress reactions, including anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, and sleep disturbance. After a baseline symptom assessment, participants (N = 148) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (1) 300 mg of pure CBD isolate, (2) 300 mg of broad-spectrum CBD, (3) 300 mg of full spectrum CBD, or (4) placebo oil. Participants took daily doses of their assigned treatment oil and recorded symptoms, adherence, and side effects in a nightly log over the four-week treatment period. We hypothesized that all three active CBD formulations would result in greater reductions in stress-related symptoms compared to placebo. Additionally, based on preclinical research on the entourage effect, we predicted that full spectrum CBD would outperform CBD isolate. Additional aims included exploring potential moderators of treatment response (e.g., baseline stress reactions) and assessing the safety and tolerability of daily CBD dosing. Results showed a significant effect of time across all groups but no significant interaction between time and treatment condition, indicating that reductions in stress reactions were similar across the CBD and placebo conditions at post-treatment and one-week follow-up. A marginal interaction between baseline distress and group was observed in the broad-spectrum group, suggesting those participants with higher baseline distress may have experienced greater improvements compared to the placebo (p = 0.079) and CBD full spectrum (p = 0.085) conditions. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to their marginal significance level. Last, most participants (73.68%) assigned to any of the three active CBD oil conditions reported no side effects. Consistent with the literature, most reported side effects were mild to moderate, and only four participants discontinued due to these concerns. Across the active conditions, 13 participants (13.68%) endorsed severe side effects, with 10 of these participants assigned to the CBD full spectrum condition. These findings add to the literature on CBD’s safety profile. Additional well-powered research is needed to examine CBD’s potential in attenuating stress reactions.",
