CBD-Rich Cannabis Extracts Reduce ADHD Symptoms in Children With Autism

The administration of CBD-rich oil extracts in children with autism is associated with reduced impulsivity and improvements in other ADHD-related symptoms, according to data published in the journal Current Neuropharmacology.

Israeli researchers assessed the efficacy of CBD-dominant extracts in a cohort of children diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) over three-to-six months. Study participants were assessed at baseline and at the completion of the study by their schoolteachers utilizing a standardized rating scale (the Conners’ Teaching Rating Scale questionnaire).

The study’s authors concluded: “This is the first prospective study to evaluate the effects of CBD-rich cannabis on ADHD symptoms in children with ASD using standardized teacher-based Assessments (CTRS). The findings indicate improvements in core behavioral domains. While previous studies have focused primarily on parent-reported outcomes or small-scale trials, our results support emerging evidence on the role of cannabinoids in modulating attention and emotional regulation. … These findings support the need for future clinical trials to validate efficacy and determine optimal dosing.”

Full text of the study, “CBD-Rich cannabis therapy in children with autism spectrum disorder may improve symptoms of hyperactivity and attention deficit: An open-label study, appears in Current Neuropharmacology. Additional information on cannabinoids and ASD is available from NORML’s publication, Clinical Applications for Cannabis and Cannabinoids.
