Open Science Framework January 1, 2025 Hancock, Mackenzie, Shambhu Prasad Adhikari, Getz, Nicole
Psilocybin-assisted therapy shows emerging promise for treating trauma-related conditions including PTSD, depression, and persistent post-concussion symptoms, with potential relevance for survivors of intimate partner violence who have sustained brain injury. This scoping review mapped research from 2015 to 2025 across multiple databases and grey literature, identifying gaps in the evidence and highlighting the need for future clinical trials specifically targeting IPV survivors. The review did not report quantitative results but provides a framework for designing such trials.
