Özet

This review explores the molecular and cellular pathways of soft tissue wound healing and the potential therapeutic use of the non-psychotropic cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD), integrating findings from in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies as well as completed and ongoing clinical trials. It provides a comprehensive summary of the next steps in new CBD-based product development by analyzing current trends in dosage optimization, treatment guidance, delivery systems, ranging from liposomes, microemulsions to hydrogels. Additionally, the review examines clinical trials related to CBD formulations, delivery routes, and participant outcomes, offering a deeper understanding of the mechanisms guiding the activity beyond binding to cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and CB2 receptors. Furthermore, it highlights challenges and future perspectives in CBD formulation studies, presenting both currently studied approaches and emerging possibilities for innovation. Therapeutic potential of CBD has proved itself in the recent years and only regulatory issues and clarity in treatment and delivery routes will limit its widespread use in soft tissue healing.
