Article Synopsis
- A study tested the effects of MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) on patients with severe PTSD and analyzed its influence on alcohol and substance use disorders (ASUD).
- Participants (n=90) received either MDMA-AT or a placebo in combination with therapy, with assessments of alcohol and drug use conducted at the start and end of the trial.
- Results showed that MDMA-AT led to a significant reduction in alcohol use compared to the placebo group, suggesting potential benefits for treating both PTSD and co-occurring alcohol issues without increasing the risk of illicit drug use.
