The study aims to enhance comprehension of the ideal number of therapists needed to administer MDMA-assisted psychotherapy group sessions effectively. Additionally, the trial offers eligible trainees the chance to develop core competencies through observing seasoned therapists conduct MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions and legally experience MDMA themselves in a therapeutic setting as healthy research subjects.
"We are pleased to have received approval for this study, which will be the first of its kind to investigate the viability of a group therapy model, establish the best methods for MDMA group therapy, and add to the existing research supporting its safe use," said
The clinical trial is formally titled "Phase 1 Exploration of Feasibility and Optimal Therapist Numbers in Group Model MDM-Assisted Psychotherapy: A Study on Safety, Delivery, and Practitioner Training."
"This study could greatly improve therapist understanding of the effects of MDMA, therapist skills, and patient outcomes by offering practitioners a chance to gain crucial insights into different modalities of treatment," added
