Early results are promising, but more research is needed (and it is happening).
The Realm of Caring Foundation reports that, among the initial cohort of 27 children with epilepsy who received Charlotte’s Web, 23 (85%) experienced a reduction of 50% or more in seizure frequency.
Margaret Gedde, MD, who has seen in her clinical practice many of the children taking Charlotte’s Web, estimates that overall one-quarter of children with epilepsy have had dramatic improvement after taking Charlotte’s Web and about another 50 percent have had some improvement.
Doctors in Colorado and researchers at Stanford University have collected summaries of patient histories suggesting positive impact of CBD in children with epilepsy.
However, these reports are anecdotal; no rigorous clinical trials of either medication have been completed yet.
