A combination of the plant-derived compound ibogaine with magnesium, given alongside complementary treatments, led to large improvements in functioning, PTSD, depression, and anxiety in 30 male Special Operations Forces veterans with mild traumatic brain injury. Functioning improved significantly both immediately after treatment and one month later, with very large effects on PTSD, depression, and anxiety at one month. No serious adverse events occurred. The authors call for controlled trials to confirm these initial open-label findings.
