Magic mushroom therapy tested for untreatable cancer pain

NCT ID NCT06001749

Summary

This study is testing whether psilocybin, the active compound in 'magic mushrooms,' combined with therapy can help reduce severe pain in people with advanced cancer when standard opioid painkillers are not effective enough. About 15 participants will receive one dose of psilocybin in a controlled therapy session and be followed for 12 weeks to see if their pain and its impact on daily life improves. The main goal is to see if this approach is safe, practical, and acceptable to patients.
