(En Ingles) MDMA-assisted therapy for severe PTSD

[Stitch]

Vengo a dejar un articulo largo, en ingles, pero que me parece realmente MUY BUENO para dejar de demonizar la sustancia en si.

In each experimental session the participants received a single divided dose of 80–180 mg MDMA or placebo. In the first experimental session, an initial dose of 80 mg was followed by a supplemental half-dose of 40 mg 1.5–2.5 h after the first dose. In the second and third experimental sessions, an initial dose of 120 mg was followed by a supplemental half-dose of 60 mg. If tolerability issues emerged with the initial dose or if participants declined, the protocol permitted the supplemental dose and/or dose escalation to be withheld. There were no instances in which the supplemental dose was withheld due to tolerability issues. Six participants chose either not to take the supplemental dose (n = 3, 1 MDMA) or not to escalate to the 120 mg dose (n = 3, 2 MDMA) in a total of six experimental sessions (2.3% of the total sessions across the study).

Justo hoy colgué leyendo varios artículos. Parece que se viene una movida para emplear MDMA y hongos en tratamientos para pacientes que sufren estrés post-traumático. Sé que este fue el "origen" de la droga y que siempre estuvo dando vueltas la idea, pero me da la sensación de que esta vez es en serio.


"Before MDMA-assisted therapy can be approved for therapeutic use, the Food and Drug Administration needs a second positive Phase 3 trial, which is currently underway with 100 participants. Approval could come as early as 2023.

Mental health experts say that this research — the first Phase 3 trial conducted on psychedelic-assisted therapy — could pave the way for further studies on MDMA’s potential to help address other difficult-to-treat mental health conditions, including substance abuse, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, eating disorders, depression, end-of-life anxiety and social anxiety in autistic adults".

"It is potentially the most significant innovation in mental health we've seen in decades," Mr Robb said.

"The drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has been showing effectiveness when it is used in conjunction with therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. The treatment is administered in an outpatient setting with a residential stay. There are currently phase-III trials for MDMA-assisted therapy being conducted, and MDMA was given a Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in 2017. This means that the FDA determined that MDMA treats a serious or life-threatening condition, and preliminary evidence shows that MDMA may cause substantial improvement over other approved therapies for PTSD".
