Abstract: Cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus are neurological conditions that affect patients motor development and quality of life, requiring effective therapeutic approaches. In this context, neurofunctional physical therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, helping to improve mobility, postural control, and functional independence. In recent years, cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a complementary alternative, thanks to its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant properties. This study aimed to analyze the effects of physical therapy in conjunction with the use of cannabidiol in patients with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus through an integrative literature review. The search was conducted in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, considering articles published between 2020 and 2026. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 studies were selected for analysis. The results demonstrated that physical therapy contributes significantly to improvements in motor development, balance, functionality, and quality of life. Cannabidiol, in turn, provided benefits in reducing spasticity, pain, seizures, and sleep disorders, enhancing the effects of rehabilitation. However, there are still limitations in the literature, such as the lack of standardized protocols and the scarcity of studies on its application in hydrocephalus. It is concluded that the combination of physical therapy and cannabidiol is a promising strategy in neurological rehabilitation, especially for cerebral palsy. However, further research is needed to confirm its efficacy, safety, and clinical application, thereby contributing to the development of more integrated and effective therapeutic approaches.
