The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or both, on sleep and pain in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Little is known about how CBD and/or THC may help sleep, reduce pain, or perhaps even treat pain through better sleep.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cannabidiol (CBD) | Experimental | Cannabidiol (Epidiolex® 100 mg/mL solution) will initially be prescribed as 50 mg (0.5 mL) twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 100 mg (1 mL) twice daily for the remainder of the treatment interval (full dose). PLUS Placebo Tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH) capsules which contain no active ingredients. Matching placebo capsules will be taken twice per day in the same schedule and manner as active dronabinol. |
|
| Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) | Active Comparator | Tetrahydrocannabinol (Dronabinol capsules) will initially be prescribed as 2.5 mg twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 5 mg twice daily for the following days of active treatment (full dose). PLUS Placebo CBD (A matching placebo oral solution to Epidiolex® will be used that consists of all of the excipients in the active solution without the cannabidiol component). The placebo will be dosed in the same schedule and manner as active Epidiolex®. |
|
| CBD + THC | Active Comparator | Cannabidiol (Epidiolex® solution) will initially be prescribed as 50 mg (0.5 mL) twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 100 mg (1 mL) twice daily for the remainder of the treatment interval (full dose). PLUS Tetrahydrocannabinol (Dronabinol capsules) will initially be prescribed as 2.5 mg twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 5 mg twice daily for the following days of active treatment (full dose). |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cannabidiol (CBD) | Drug | Epidiolex® dose will be 0.5 mL (50 mg) twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 1 mL (100 mg) twice daily for the remainder of the treatment interval (full dose). If the full dose (100 mg twice daily) is not tolerated by participants, they will have the option of going down to the original half-dose (50 mg twice daily). Participants who go back to the half-dose of Cannabidiol (50 mg twice daily) also have the option to request once-per-day dosing with study drug taken at preferred time of day. Participants who request once-per-day dosing will not exceed a total daily dose 100 mg Cannabidiol per day. Participants who are tolerating the full-dose of medication (Cannabidiol 100 mg twice daily) will not be allowed to combine these doses into one daily dose. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mean change in sleep bout length | Measured with in-laboratory polysomnography, reported as average length of continuous bouts of sleep, for each sleep stage and total sleep (in minutes). | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in Walsh Spectral Entropy | Measured with in-laboratory polysomnography, computed from EEG sleep stage data to quantify hypnogram regularity (dimensionless, values range from 0-1) | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in Transition Entropy | Measured with in-laboratory polysomnography. Entropy measure computed from sleep stage transition matrix that quantifies hypnogram regularity (dimensionless, values range from 0-1) | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change of center of activity | Measured with in-laboratory polysomnography. Weighted mean temporal location over the night of all 30 second epochs scored as N3 and Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in sleep rhythmicity | Measured by actigraphy. Probability of being in the same sleep/wake state 24h apart | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in sleep regularity | Measured by actigraphy in hours. | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in sleep continuity and duration | Measured by actigraphy in minutes to obtain time in wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO) and total sleep time. |

| Placebo CBD + Placebo THC | Placebo Comparator | Placebo CBD (A matching placebo oral solution to Epidiolex® will be used that consists of all of the excipients in the active solution without the cannabidiol component). The placebo will be dosed in the same schedule and manner as the active CBD. PLUS Placebo Tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH) capsules which contain no active ingredients. Matching placebo capsules will be taken twice per day in the same schedule and manner as active drug. |

|
| Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) | Drug | Dronabinol dose will be 2.5 mg twice daily during the first seven days of active treatment (half of full anticipated dose), followed by 5 mg twice daily for the remainder of the treatment interval (full dose). If the full dose (5 mg twice daily) is not tolerated by participants, they will have the option of going down to the original half-dose (2.5 mg twice daily). Participants who go back to the half-dose of Dronabinol (2.5 mg twice daily) also have the option to request once-per-day dosing with study drug taken at preferred time of day. Participants who request once-per-day dosing will not exceed a total daily dose 5 mg Dronabinol per day. Participants who are tolerating the full-dose of medication (Dronabinol 5 mg BID) will not be allowed to combine these doses into one daily dose. |

|
| Placebo CBD | Drug | Placebo solution will be taken twice per day, using the same dosing regimen as described for Epidiolex®. |
|
| Placebo THC | Drug | Placebo capsules will be taken twice per day in the same schedule and manner as active dronabinol. |
