Preparing for psychedelics with meditation or music
Treatments studied
This study tests whether a meditation-based music program or a music-only program helps people prepare for a psychedelic experience. It's looking for people who have used psychedelics very little before and have no major health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 65 years old.
- You have limited experience with psychedelics (5 or fewer full-dose sessions, none in the last 6 months) and meditation (10 or fewer sessions over 30 minutes).
- You are a native English speaker and live in the UK, registered with a primary care doctor.
- You have no current or past serious mental health conditions (like psychosis or bipolar disorder), and if you've had conditions like depression or anxiety, they must be in clear remission for at least 5 years.
- You are not taking medications that interact with psilocybin, and you have no medical conditions that could be risky (like heart disease, epilepsy, or pregnancy).
- You own a smartphone and can attend both in-person and remote sessions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how psilocybin, a psychedelic substance, affects your thinking, memory, and brain activity. Researchers want to understand these effects in healthy adults who have used psychedelics before.
This Phase 1/2 study tests psilocybin to see how it affects brain signals and the “content” of thoughts while you are monitored during the study. Because participants must be generally healthy and mentally stable, it may be an option if you meet those safety and medication rules and are comfortable having your brain activity measured.
This trial tests whether taking pimavanserin before psilocybin changes the drug's effects in healthy volunteers who have never used psychedelics. It aims to understand how to make psychedelic therapy safer and more predictable.
This study tests how music affects your experience with psilocybin, a psychedelic substance. It may help researchers understand how to create the best setting for psilocybin therapy.
This study gives a single dose of psilocybin to healthy adults who are curious about psychedelics but have little to no past use. Researchers will measure how it affects your mood, brain activity, and body chemistry to understand its effects better.
This study tests whether adding music and mindfulness exercises to psilocybin-assisted therapy can help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't gotten better with at least two other antidepressants. It aims to see if this approach can improve mood and well-being.
