Cannabinoid Composition for Sleep and Pain Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for improving sleep quality and pain management, such as pharmaceuticals, sleep hygiene, diet, and exercise, are either ineffective for the general population or come with significant risks and challenges in terms of commitment and side effects.
Innovation Solution
A composition of cannabinoids, including cannabidiol, cannabigerol, cannabichromene, and cannabinol, combined with terpenes like beta caryophyllene and myrcene, which can be used for nutraceutical applications to enhance sleep quality, manage pain, and promote neurogenesis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pharmaceuticals are used to improve sleep quality, then sleep onset is improved, but side effects and risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a natural cannabinoid composition as an intermediary substance to bridge the gap between ineffective natural remedies and harmful pharmaceuticals. The specific formulation with CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene acts as a mediator that provides pharmaceutical-level efficacy without the severe side effects of conventional sleep medications.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs a composite formulation combining six different cannabinoids and terpenes in specific ratios. This composite approach synergizes multiple natural compounds to achieve enhanced sleep quality improvement while maintaining a safety profile superior to single-ingredient pharmaceuticals.
2Reliability
If sleep hygiene practices are implemented, then sleep quality is improved slightly, but effectiveness is limited for the general population
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from behavioral parameter changes (sleep hygiene) to chemical parameter changes (cannabinoid composition). The specific chemical formulation with controlled ratios of cannabinoids and terpenes provides a more potent and universally effective intervention that works across diverse populations regardless of behavioral compliance.
3Reliability
If diet and nutrition are optimized for sleep, then sleep quality may be improved, but commitment and time requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the beneficial sleep-promoting properties from complex dietary regimens and concentrates them into a single cannabinoid composition. This eliminates the need for prolonged dietary commitment and complex food selection, delivering sleep quality improvement through a straightforward supplementation approach.
4Reliability
If exercise is increased to improve sleep, then deep sleep is enhanced, but temporal and financial commitment increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent isolates the sleep-enhancing effects of exercise into a chemical formulation that can be taken without physical exertion. The cannabinoid composition replicates and enhances the deep sleep benefits of exercise without requiring the substantial time and energy investment needed for physical activity.

AI summary
Cannabinoids are increasingly found to have beneficial effects on the human body, even without the intoxicating effects from THC. Herein we describe a cannabinoid composition of mixed cannabinoids and terpenes. The described cannabinoid composition can be used for improvement of sleep quality, for pain management, and for stimulation of neurogenesis. The typical cannabinoid composition is 90.0% by mass cannabidiol, 4.0% by mass cannabigerol, 2.0% by mass cannabichromene, 2.0% by mass cannabinol, 1.5% by mass beta caryophyllene, and 0.5% by mass myrcene.
