Abstract

Introduction: Dravet Syndrome is a drug-resistant epileptic encephalopathy and presents 3 phases, which lead to cognitive and behavioral impairments. Due to the ineffectiveness of existing drugs and the need for new therapeutic measures, the interest in the use of cannabidiol arose. Materials and methods: the keywords Dravet syndrome; Dravet; Dravet pharmacology; Dravet syndrome and cannabidiol; Cannabinoids epilepsy were used. The following databases were used: PubMed, Portal de periódicos da Capes and Google Acadêmico. The inclusion criteria for the articles were: articles published in Portuguese and English between 2011 and 2021 and with minimum qualis B3 that were consulted in the Sucupira Platform. Articles whose work objectives did not align with the interests of this research were excluded.   Results: Among the 53 articles selected for analysis, only 22 were used as the final sample of the research. Among them, 12 dealt exclusively with Dravet syndrome and its clinical aspects. It was found, in 10 articles, the relationship between Dravet syndrome and the use of cannabidiol as a treatment for the mitigation of seizures. In addition, the articles also highlight other aspects related to the pathology, such as other drug options. Conclusion: The use of the active ingredient CBD is effective for one of the main symptoms of Dravet syndrome, the seizures, and is being increasingly studied due to its high efficacy.
