NCT ID NCT05421065

Summary

This small pilot study compares two different psychedelic-assisted therapies for alcohol use disorder. Twenty men with moderate to severe alcohol problems will receive either psilocybin (from magic mushrooms) or ketamine alongside psychotherapy sessions. Researchers will measure changes in drinking patterns and brain activity to see which approach shows more promise for helping people reduce alcohol use.
