Special forces veterans test Psychedelic-Device combo for PTSD and brain injury
NCT ID NCT07717866
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a combination of ibogaine-magnesium, 5-MeO-DMT, magnetic e-Resonance therapy (MeRT), and physiological supplements can help special operations veterans with PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, and cognitive problems from traumatic brain injury. Participants receive these treatments in a specific order and are followed for a year. The goal is to see if this multi-pronged approach improves symptoms and brain function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a combination of ibogaine-magnesium, 5-MeO-DMT, magnetic e-Resonance therapy (MeRT), and physiological supplements
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination approach could offer a new way to reduce PTSD, depression, and cognitive problems in veterans who have not responded to standard treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with no control group, so results may be due to placebo or other factors. The treatments also carry risks, including heart issues and psychological distress.
