Magic mushrooms tested as PTSD treatment at johns hopkins

NCT ID NCT06407635

Summary

This small, early-stage study at Johns Hopkins University is testing whether psilocybin, the active compound in 'magic mushrooms,' is safe and can help reduce symptoms of chronic PTSD. The study involves 20 adults who are already taking standard antidepressant medication. Researchers will also explore whether adding specific trauma-focused talk therapy alongside the psilocybin sessions makes the treatment more effective.
