Topical Cannabidiol for Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The Purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Cannabidiol on treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Clinical Trial Description

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), or compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the wrist, is the most common entrapment neuropathy affecting up to 15% of the general population Non-operative interventions for CTS include night-time splinting, physical therapy, and corticosteroid administration, however only surgery is considered a definitive treatment for CTS. There is an unmet need for novel, effective non-operative options for the treatment of CTS to provide care for patients who cannot undergo surgery for medical reasons or do not feel comfortable proceeding with a surgical option. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive minor cannabinoid component of Cannabis sativa that is emerging as a treatment to mitigate pain, numbness, and tingling associated with peripheral neuropathy. Pre-clinical data indicates that CBD acts through multiple receptors to modulate central and peripheral neuropathic signaling pathways to alleviate pain - specifically in pre-clinical models of compression neuropathy as in CTS. This pilot trial seeks to investigate whether CBD is a safe, feasible, and effective treatment for CTS in patients with confirmed mild to moderate CTS receiving standardized physiotherapy with primary endpoints assessing feasibility, symptom severity, and/or disability and also highlights the gap in knowledge regarding the clinical utility of cannabinoids ;
