Psilocybin/OCD study

Posted by stjames on May 26, 2000, at 21:41:01

MAPS just sent a check for $10,527 to the University of Arizona Department of Psychiatry, to pay for the psilocybin for the OCD study. Producing the
psilocybin will probably take 2-3 months, then the study can start.

This will be the first FDA-approved study in 25 years to examine the use of psilocybin in a patient population. The principal investigators, Dr.
Pedro Delgado and Dr. Francisco Moreno, University of Arizona, plan to study the use of psilocybin in 10 patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). They want to determine if they can
replicate in a clinical study several published case reports of patients whose OCD symptoms were reduced after self-experimentation with psilocybin
mushrooms. See www.maps.org/news/1099news.html for the study update, including links to the protocol and informed consent form.
