Scientists probe Brain's fear switch with cannabis drug
NCT ID NCT02069366
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a drug similar to marijuana (dronabinol) affects the brain circuits involved in fear, particularly in people with PTSD. Researchers compared brain scans and fear responses in 86 participants, some with PTSD and some without, after they took either the drug or a placebo. The goal was to gather knowledge that could inform future treatments for anxiety and fear-based disorders.
