In an analysis of pediatric epilepsy patients using pharmaceutical (isolated) CBD vs artisanal (full-spectrum), the isolated CBD did cause them to have higher levels in the blood, but this only increased side effects while having no effect on seizure frequency Variability in Serum Concentrations and Clinical Response in Artisanal Versus Pharmaceutical Cannabidiol Treatment of Pediatric Pharmacoresistant Epilepsy https://meridian.allenpress.com/jppt/article-abstract/27/6/558/485210/Variability-in-Serum-Concentrations-and-Clinical
A survey found that for people with arthritis & joint pain, they said CBD helped with pain, physical function & sleep as well as a reduction in other medications Cannabidiol as a treatment for arthritis and joint pain: an exploratory cross-sectional study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35999581
A review of CBD for movement disorders Cannabinoids in movement disorders https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36038457
What does PEA do at our synapses that make it effective for neurodegeneration & neuroinflammation? Synaptic Effects of Palmitoylethanolamide in Neurodegenerative Disorders https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36009055
In a mouse model of neuropathic pain, CBD caused the morphine’s painkilling to work better & lowered the buildup of tolerance to opioids Cannabidiol enhances the antinociceptive effects of morphine and attenuates opioid-induced tolerance in the chronic constriction injury model https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36028000

In a mouse model of osteoarthritis, both CBD oil & CBG oil helped with pain & inflammation as well as improved gait & locomotion Distinctive Therapeutic Effects of Non-Euphorigenic Cannabis Extracts in Osteoarthritis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35994012
In a mouse model of fibromyalgia, low-THC cannabis oil reduced sensitivity to pressure & heat as well as reducing depressive behaviors Broad-spectrum cannabis oil ameliorates reserpine-induced fibromyalgia model in mice https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35988425
