10. Treatment Of Arthritis & Multiple Sclerosis
A study of 47 people with multiple sclerosis examined the effects of taking a CBD for one month. The participants experienced improvements in pain, walking, and muscle spasms. However, the study didn't include any control group and placebo effects cannot be ruled out.
Animal studies showed that topical CBD applications relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis with few side effects. The topical application of CBD is beneficial because CBD is poorly absorbed when taken by mouth and can cause gastrointestinal side effects.
Topical CBD may be beneficial at relieving arthritis but no high-quality human studies prove this.
