Magic mushrooms may help stroke victims relearn movement

NCT ID NCT07053917

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether a single dose of psilocybin, the active compound in 'magic mushrooms,' is safe for people who had a stroke over a year ago. Researchers believe psilocybin might temporarily reopen a critical learning period in the brain, potentially making physical therapy more effective for regaining movement. The study will monitor 20 participants closely for safety and will also check for early signs of improvement in arm and hand function.
