Psilocybin therapy for severe irritable bowel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a drug called psilocybin, given with talk therapy, can help people with severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. If it works, it could offer a new way to manage IBS symptoms.
