Clinical Trials
Cannabidiol and Management of Endometriosis Pain
The study team will be looking at the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) in patients with endometriosis. It is believed that CBD will improve both pain and quality of life. The study will last a total of 12 weeks and involve several onsite visits in addition to daily pain assessments.

Collaborate with the CCNPP
The Center for Cannabis and Natural Product Pharmaceutics is dedicated to increasing the scientific knowledge around the benefits and harms of cannabis and medicinal plants. The center also realizes that this presents a large undertaking and spans a number of research areas, as such it is always looking for ways to collaborate with other like-minded researchers across institutions. Within the center, researchers are examining natural products to treat pain, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and many other conditions. The center currently collaborates with researchers at Rutgers University, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Drexel University College of Medicine and Geisinger Commonwealth College of Medicine, to highlight a few. If you are a researcher and have an interest in cannabis or another natural product with potential therapeutic benefits or harms, the CCNPP would be delighted to work with you. Please contact the center administrator to discuss more details and schedule a meeting.

Support natural product research at Penn State College of Medicine with a donation today
Millions of people currently take herbal supplements, including CBD oil or medical cannabis, that make claims to potential medical benefits. These statements and claims are rarely supported by strong scientific evidence, if any. Importantly, these supplements are not subject to government oversight, potential negative side-effects are not disclosed, and people believe they are safe (and therefore don’t mention to their primary care provider). The goals of the center are to identify novel natural product pharmaceutics, validate reported claims, and assess negative side-effects of natural products that consumers are using. Your generous gift helps to fund this work as well as to our work to educate clinicians on the medicinal value of plants and natural products.
