This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing , a new medication that combines CBD oil with a natural substance called PEA (palmitoylethanolamide). Researchers believe that these two ingredients work together to be more effective than CBD alone for reducing behavioral problems in children with autism. The study wants to find out whether the medication is safe and whether it actually helps.
Many families of children with autism are looking for new treatment options to help manage difficult behaviors. Some people have reported good results using this medication combination, but it has never been properly tested in a clinical trial before—so doctors don't yet know for certain whether it works or how safe it truly is.

You would take the medication (or placebo) by mouth twice each day. The study uses a crossover design, which means you may receive the active medication during one period and a placebo (inactive pill) during another. Throughout the study, your parent or guardian will answer questions about your behavior and symptoms, and researchers will monitor you for any side effects. You would attend study visits at specified times so doctors can check how you're doing.
