Other considerations
Almost all research on CBD oil and pain comes from adult trials. Experts do not recommend CBD oil for use in children, as there is little research on the effects of CBD oil on a child's developing brain.
However, people may use Epidiolex for children aged 2 years of age and upward who have rare forms of epilepsy.
A person should consult a doctor if they think a child needs to use CBD oil for seizures.
CBD oil is also not recommended during pregnancy or while breast-feeding.
Takeaway
While many studies have suggested CBD oil is helpful for pain, more research is necessary, especially in long-term studies with human subjects.
However, CBD oil does show a lot of potential for pain relief. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it can be used to help manage chronic pain in website many cases.
CBD oil is especially promising due to its lack of intoxicating effects and a possible lower potential for side effects than many other pain medications.
People should discuss CBD oil with their doctor if they are considering using it for the first time.
