NCT ID NCT05723276

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a single dose of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, affects brain networks in 24 adults with functional neurological disorder (FND). Participants receive the drug with therapeutic support, and brain scans are taken before and after to see if a key network called the default mode network changes. The goal is to understand brain function in FND, not to test a treatment.
