Understanding the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) on brain function
This research uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare the brains of individuals without hallucinations or delusions to those with Parkinson’s psychosis treated with cannabidiol (CBD) in the CAN-PDP trial.
It aims to improve understanding of CBD's effects on how the brain works.
20 people with Parkinson’s and 20 people without Parkinson’s:
• who are 40 years old or older
• are not participating in any clinical trial involving taking a study medication
You will be asked to attend 1 study visit at King's College Hospital in London, which will last for 2 to 4 hours.
You will take part in various assessments, including surveys and an MRI scan. You will not receive a study drug, CBD or placebo (dummy drug).
Travel expenses will be reimbursed.

• participant information sheet for people with Parkinson’s
• participant information sheet for people without Parkinson’s
