Psilocybin and talk therapy for chronic PTSD
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medication called psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) can help people with long-term PTSD when combined with a specific type of talk therapy. The goal is to see if this approach reduces PTSD symptoms more than therapy alone.
