The problem
Intervention: Cannabidiol (CBD) treatment
Who it was tested with: Children with Dravet syndrome.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"Eight studies were included, all of which are randomized controlled trials." The meta-analysis synthesizes results from multiple RCTs with comparison groups, providing experimental-level evidence of cannabidiol's efficacy in reducing seizures in children with Dravet syndrome, though safety concerns require further investigation.
Only eight RCTs included, mostly focused on Dravet syndrome; mental health adverse events assessed qualitatively rather than quantitatively; long-term safety data limited.
