Each participant will fill in Insomnia Severity Scale. Questionnaire contains 5 questions, scored from 0 to 4 depending on the severity of ailments. Minimal score is 0, maximal score is 20. A total point value of up to 10 is considered the norm, while a score above 14 points indicates clinically significant insomnia.
The influence of an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN on muscle pain assessed by Perceived Stress Scale -10
Each participant will fill in Perceived Stress Scale -10. Scores are obtained by reversing the scores on the four positive items, e.g., 0=4, 1=3, 2=2, etc. and then summing across all 10 items. Items 4,5, 7, and 8 are the positively stated items. It can range from 0 to 40. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress,14-26 would be considered moderate stress, 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.
The influence of an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN on muscle pain assessed by Somatic Symptom Scale - 8
Each participant will fill in the Somatic Symptom Scale - 8 (SSS-8) which is a brief self-report questionnaire used to assess somatic symptom burden. It measures the perceived burden of common somatic symptoms. These symptoms were originally chosen to reflect common symptoms in primary care but they are relevant for a large number of diseases and mental disorders. Scoring: 0-3: no to minimal, 4-7: low, 8-11: medium,12-15: high,16-32: very high.

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN in the management of Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin. A randomized (block randomization), double-blind, two-arm controlled trial will involve 42 adult patients diagnosed with Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin which is lasting more than 3 months on the basis of clinical examination. Qualified study participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The studied group will receive tan aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician, while the control group will receive an aqueous solution of placebo, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician during this time. Each subject will be tested on the qualification day (D0), on 20 days after D0 (D20), and then 40 (D40) and 60 (D60) days after the qualification day using electromyography (EMG), pressure pain threshold test (PPT), clinical examination and surveys.
Detailed Description
Background: Orofacial pain is a common occurrence. According to available scientific research, it occurs in up to 16 to 25% of the human population. In its chronic form, orofacial pain can lead to reduced sleep quality, reduced life satisfaction, and psychoemotional disorders, including depressive disorders. A popular tendency among patients suffering from chronic orofacial pain is the abuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which in most cases show low, short-term and disproportionate to side effects effectiveness. There are scientific reports suggesting that substances such as cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) may be effective in the treatment of chronic nociceptive and neuropathic pain. However, studies on the effectiveness of these substances in alleviating muscular orofacial pain are clearly lacking Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN in the management of Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin Material and methods: A randomized (block randomization), double-blind, two-arm controlled trial will involve 42 adult patients diagnosed with Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin which is lasting more than 3 months on the basis of clinical examination.
