Cannabidiol (CBD) Therapy to Reduce Vasospasm and Inflammation Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (RPA Pilot / Seed Project)

Grants and Contracts Details

Description

Our long-term goal is to develop new treatment options for SAH patients. The overall objective of this preclinical application is to evaluate the effectiveness of CBD as a therapy for vasospasm. CBD not only possesses anti-inflammatory properties, but evidence indicates it also relaxes and stabilizes the vasculature. Taken together, we hypothesize that CBD therapy will reduce SAH-induced inflammation and CV, thereby improving survival rates and limiting cognitive impairment.
