Pharmacotherapy in Psychiatry and Neurology January 1, 2023 Monika Nowak, Julia Górczyńska, Michał Gebuza
A review of the literature on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for adults with PTSD finds that this combination treatment shows promise in reducing PTSD symptoms. The reviewed studies indicate that the administration of MDMA during therapy sessions can enhance the therapeutic process, leading to significant improvements in PTSD symptom severity compared to therapy with a placebo. The authors suggest that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy may be an effective treatment option, particularly for individuals who have not responded to conventional therapies. The review highlights the need for further research to confirm these findings and establish standardized treatment protocols.
