Migraines are often linked to increased activity of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a signaling molecule known to trigger pain sensitivity, light sensitivity, and other migraine symptoms. In this preclinical study, researchers examined whether a combination of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) could reduce migraine-like symptoms caused by central CGRP administration in mice. Scientists used established […]

Cannabidiol (CBD) Improves Cognitive Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury in Preclinical Study (pub. Jan 2026)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-term cognitive problems caused by oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuronal cell death following the initial injury. In this study, researchers investigated whether cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound from hemp, could improve cognitive impairment after TBI. Using both cell-based experiments and animal models of brain injury, scientists evaluated memory […]
