Our Swiss MDMA/PTSD study has now completed active treatment of all 12 subjects and has obtained data from the two-month follow-up. The long-term follow-up (12 months post-treatment) is still underway, and will not be completed until January 2011.
The results were promising, approaching significance but only reaching the .1 level. The underlying reduction in PTSD symptoms was larger than the reductions obtained in the Zoloft and Paxil studies, which led to their approval by the FDA for the treatment of PTSD. If this study had been somewhat larger with more subjects, the results we obtained would become significant.
The leading researcher in this study, Peter Oehen, M.D., will be reporting on his results from this study at the upcoming Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century conference.
