Psilocybin-assisted massed cognitive processing therapy for chronic posttraumatic stress disorder: Protocol for an open-label pilot feasibility trial

This study tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic compound) combined with intensive therapy can help treat chronic PTSD better than therapy alone. Fifteen patients with PTSD will receive one dose of psilocybin alongside 12 therapy sessions completed over a single week. Researchers will track feasibility, safety, symptom improvements, and use wearable devices to monitor physiological changes. The results will help determine whether larger trials should test this innovative combination therapy.

Safety, feasibility, tolerability, and clinical effects of repeated psilocybin dosing combined with non-directive support in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder: protocol for a randomized, waitlist-controlled trial with blinded ratings

This clinical trial is investigating whether psilocybin (a psychoactive compound found in certain mushrooms) combined with supportive counseling can help people with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. Researchers will give participants two doses of psilocybin while providing non-directive psychological support to help them process their experiences. The study aims to determine whether this approach is safe, tolerable, and effective at reducing OCD symptoms, and to understand the psychological mechanisms that might explain how it works.
