"MDMA: A Promising Breakthrough in PTSD Treatment"

MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could receive federal approval in 2024, and Colorado has already passed a law allowing its use. A recent study sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies found that MDMA, also known as ecstasy or molly, combined with talk therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms. The study's results are expected to be submitted for FDA approval later this year. If approved, Colorado's existing law would allow the use of MDMA in the state. Colorado has been at the forefront of drug decriminalization, having previously legalized cannabis and decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms.

"Breakthrough Study Shows MDMA Therapy's Promise for PTSD Treatment"

A Phase III trial has found that MDMA-assisted therapy is effective in relieving symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when compared to standard therapy. The study involved over 100 participants with moderate to severe PTSD and showed that 86% of the MDMA group achieved a "clinically meaningful" improvement in symptoms compared to 69% of the control group. The nonprofit organization funding the research plans to seek formal approval from the FDA for MDMA-assisted therapy before the end of the year. If approved, this treatment could provide a valuable new option for individuals who haven't responded to existing medications or therapy.
