THC-CBD Treatment Dramatically Reduces Agitation in Dementia Trial

Reported byGeorgetown University Medical Center ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

In the LiBBY trial, a specially formulated THC-CBD medication reduced agitation in 120 hospice-eligible dementia patients across 10 U.S. medical centers, with nearly 90% showing improvement at 12 weeks compared to placebo—a response rate unusually high for dementia behavioral interventions.

Worth noting

The formulation is a medical preparation distinct from commercial cannabis products. Results from a first-of-its-kind trial; replication needed.
