Registry facts
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. Criteria for exclusion from the study will include: patients under 18 years of age, patients who are allergic to any ingredient of the preparation, pregnant or breast-feeding women, patients taking preparations that contain similar ingredients and/or have similar effects, obese patients, patients with active cancer, patients with severe systemic diseases, including genetic and neurological diseases, patients with severe mental illnesses, patients who are taking or in the last 12 months have taken antidepressants and/or myorelaxants and/or other drugs that affect neuromuscular activity, patients addicted to alcohol or drugs. Qualified study participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The studied group will receive an 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 day of qualification (day 0), after 20 (day 20), and then 40 (day 40) and 60(day 60) days after the qualification day using the following methods: * EMG (Electromyography) (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60) * Pressure pain threshold test (PPT) using the Wagner Paintest FPX 25 algometer (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60) * Clinical examination according to diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders - DC / TMD International Examination Form (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60) * Surveys: Graded Chronic Pain Scale oraz McGill Pain Questionnaire (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Satisfaction with Life Scale (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), The Migraine Disability Assessment Test -MIDAS (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Central Sensitisation Inventory (CSI) (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Bruxscreen Q (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Insomnia Severity Index (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), The Perceived Stress Scale (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60), Somatic Symptom Scale - 8 (day 0, day 20, day 40, day 60)

Interventions
An aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician
An aqueous solution of placebo, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician
Eligibility
primary outcomes
Time frame: 3 months
Each participant will undergo pressure pain threshold test (PPT) using the Wagner Paintest FPX 25 algometer before and after taking an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN.
Time frame: 3 months
Each participant will undergo EMG ( Electromyography) before and after taking an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN. EMG measures the electrical activity of the muscle during rest, slight contraction and forceful contraction.
secondary outcomes
Time frame: 3 months
Each patient will undergo DC/TMD protocol-based clinical examination before and after taking the aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN using DC/TMD examination form assessing incidence of pain of masticatory muscles and surrounding structures.
Time frame: 3 months
Each participant will be asked to assess the pain during muscle palpation using Pain Numerical Rating Scale before and after taking the aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN. It is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Time frame: 3 months
Each participant will fill in Graded Chronic Pain Scale. Scoring Criteria for Grading Chronic Pain Severity: Characteristic Pain Intensity is a 0 to 100 score derived from Questions 1 through 3:Mean (Pain Right Now, Worst Pain, Average Pain) X 10. Disability Score is 0 to 100score derived from Questions 4 through 6:Mean (Daily Activities, Social Activities, Work Activities) X 10. Disability Points: Add the indicated points for Disability Days (Question 7)and for Disability Score. Classification: GRADE 0- No TMD pain in prior 6 months. GRADE I-Low Intensity Characteristic Pain Intensity\<50, Low Disability\<3 Disability Point. GRADE II -High Intensity Characteristic Pain Intensity \>50, LowDisability\<3 Disability Points. GRADE III- High Disability3 to 4 Disability Points, Moderately Limiting (Regardless of Characteristic Pain Intensity). GRADE IV- High Disability 5 to 6 Disability Points, Severely Limiting (Regardless of Characteristic Pain Intensity).
