Meditation or music before magic mushrooms? UCL tests digital prep for psychedelics
NCT ID NCT06815653
First seen Dec 04, 2025
Summary
This study tests a 21-day digital program that uses either meditation or music to prepare healthy volunteers for a supervised psilocybin session. Forty people will be randomly assigned to one of the two preparation methods. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and easy to follow, not to measure health benefits.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Psilocybin (25 mg single dose)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple digital preparation program helps people have safer, more meaningful psychedelic experiences, potentially improving future therapy protocols.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 40 healthy volunteers, not patients. It is not designed to prove any treatment effect, and the results may not apply to clinical settings.
As listed by the trial registrant
