ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of Cannabidiol (CBD), a compound found in cannabis, on pain relief in patients who have suffered from fractures and other injuries. The goal is to see if CBD can help reduce pain and improve the overall quality of life for these patients, especially when compared to traditional pain medications like opioids. The trial will involve participants receiving either CBD or a placebo (a treatment with no active ingredient) for one month. Researchers will also look at how CBD affects inflammation, sleep quality, mood, and physical function.

To participate, individuals must be between 18 and 70 years old and have recently been admitted to the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal with a long bone fracture. They should be within seven days of their injury and able to provide consent to join the study. However, certain people are not eligible, such as those with severe brain injuries, certain mental health disorders, or those who misuse substances like alcohol or opioids. Participants can expect regular check-ins during the study to monitor their pain levels and overall health, contributing important information that could help others in the future.
