This may, in turn, lessen the symptoms of dementia. For people suffering from dementia, mainly the elderly, CBD oil could provide a wave of hope for a desperate condition that robs the individual of memory and cognition and, thus, the ability to function in daily life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"research-overview\">\n\tResearch overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of recent studies have provided promising evidence for the use of CBD to treat dementia. These studies encompass the dementia-related diseases of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's, as well as vascular dementia. To date, no large-scale clinical trials have been conducted on humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CBD oil for dementia and Alzheimer's disease<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2017 literature review published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5289988\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frontiers in Pharmacology<\/a> examined preclinical evidence for the therapeutic properties of CBD in treating Alzheimer's disease.

The signature symptom associated with Parkinson's disease is tremors, but these researchers were interested in understanding how the other symptoms, namely dementia, could decrease with CBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers analyzed six studies that suggested that CBD has a neuroprotective effect on Parkinson's disease patients. As with the Alzheimer's disease study, researchers noted that CBD was well-tolerated by individuals with Parkinson's disease, but noted that the sample sizes were small and the CBD treatments were short. The authors recommended more clinical trials to assess CBD's safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CBD oil for dementia and Huntington's disease<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This inherited disorder is characterized by the death of brain cells leading to dementia that sometimes begins with mood swings. A 2016 clinical trial performed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27159993\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Madrid<\/a> found that Sativex, an oral spray containing CBD, was safe and well-tolerated but did not identify a change in symptoms. Researchers suggested in an abstract published in the Journal of Neurology that higher doses of Sativex could yield different results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CBD oil for vascular dementia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Impaired blood flow to the brain precipitates problems with reasoning, judgment and memory for individuals with this type of dementia. In that regard, a 2016 study published in the journal&nbsp; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5075023\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences<\/a> found that activating CB2 (cannabinoid) receptors in the brains of animals could improve blood flow to that region. Activity in the brain cells increased while damage to the cells decreased, according to researchers. However, the researchers did point out the need for scientific studies to be performed on the human brain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"patient-perspectives\">\n\tPatient perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Warren Josefson is poised to celebrate his 85th birthday, but he can't remember that the milestone is on the horizon.
