Psilocybin therapy for PTSD from sexual assault
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether psilocybin, a psychedelic drug given in a supportive therapy setting, can help women heal from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by a sexual assault that happened 6 or more months ago. You'll receive the drug during supervised sessions and attend therapy visits to see if it reduces your PTSD symptoms.
