Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the use of cannabidiol (CBD) capsules as a treatment for musculoskeletal pain. CBD is commonly being used as an over-the-counter treatment for musculoskeletal pain. Clinical trials have demonstrated a pain-relief benefit for hand and wrist osteoarthritis with topical CBD, however patients prefer oral CBD and no clinical trial has been performed to establish efficacy of oral CBD in humans for upper extremity musculoskeletal pain. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is CBD more effective than placebo at relieving pain for upper extremity musculoskeletal pain ? Is CBD safe for participants with upper extremity musculoskeletal pain?
Participants will:
