Summary

This study tests whether psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) combined with talk therapy can safely reduce long-lasting symptoms after a concussion. Forty adults aged 18 to 65 with symptoms lasting 3 months to 5 years will receive either a high or low dose of psilocybin, plus weekly therapy sessions. Researchers will track side effects, symptom changes, and how practical the treatment is.
