Testing ayahuasca for psychogenic non-epileptic seizures
Treatments studied

This trial tests whether a single dose of ayahuasca, a plant-based brew, can reduce psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). It may help if you are willing to stop psychiatric medications temporarily and have no other serious mental health conditions.
