Cannabidiol Effects on Learning and Anxiety Study
This study is looking at how Cannabidiol (CBD) might help college students with social anxiety learn to overcome their fears. Researchers will give some participants a one-time dose of 600 mg Cannabidiol Isolate Gel Capsules, while others will receive a placebo (an inactive capsule). The study aims to see if CBD can improve how quickly people unlearn fear responses. You can join if you are between 18 and 50 years old and do not have certain health conditions like heart problems or neurological disorders. The study plans to enroll 160 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 160 participants. Half will receive Cannabidiol Isolate Gel Capsules, and the other half will receive a placebo.
- What's involved
- You will participate in a fear conditioning task where you learn to associate a face with a mild shock. You will then receive a one-time dose of either CBD or a placebo.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your electrodermal activity (a measure of skin's electrical conductivity, which can indicate stress) will be measured at 20 minutes after receiving the dose.

What this trial measures
- Electrodermal activity20 minutes
Electrodermal response as measured by galvanic skin response electrodes that are attached to two of the fingers via sticker electrodes. These passively measure the conductance of the sweat glands on the fingers.
