Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) is a medical theory that proposes that a deficiency of

endocannabinoids is the underlying pathophysiology of migraines, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.[1][2] The deficiency may sometimes start in the womb as a result of maternal obesity.[3]

The nature of the syndrome and existence of CECD as a clinically meaningful condition have been called into question.[4]
