KINGSTON, ON. 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Researchers at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 and Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) will soon begin recruiting patients to study the efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The Phase 2b clinical trial, sponsored by Clairvoyant Therapeutics, will assess whether motivational enhancement therapy and the use of psilocybin can help those living with the disorder.

카지노 게임 컬렉션One in five Canadian adults will suffer from alcohol use disorder at one point during their lifetimes, and we still struggle to find the best way to help them with the resources we currently have in the health care system,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s psychiatry professor Dr. Claudio Soares, the lead researcher for the study in Kingston and the chair of the Psychedelic Science Advisory Committee for the Dimensions Health Research Collaborative. 카지노 게임 컬렉션As clinicians and researchers, we have a responsibility to stretch the boundaries in the pursuit of new and better ways to treat this medical disorder, and psychedelics are part of the emerging treatment options.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Psilocybin is a naturally-occurring molecule found in some species of mushrooms that can induce an altered state of consciousness. Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy is currently being studied as a novel form of treatment for a range of medical conditions, including depression and AUD. Researchers want to know whether this form of therapy can help change the negative patterns and behaviours associated with mental health and addictions.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The opportunity for KHSC to be a clinical site for this study is very exciting as psychedelic- assisted therapy has tremendous potential but requires a critical, evidence-based scientific approach to truly assess the positive impacts and any adverse consequences,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Dr. Steven Smith, Vice President, Health Sciences Research at KHSC and President and CEO of the Kingston General Health Research Institute (KGHRI). 카지노 게임 컬렉션This study is another example of the outstanding collaborative research eco-system involving KHSC, the KGHRI, and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트. We look forward to making significant research contributions in psychedelic medicine.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Kingston will join six other sites in Canada and Europe that are already recruiting patients for the clinical trial, which will take place at KHSC. The initial goal is to recruit 10 patients from Kingston and surrounding communities. Patient recruitment will take place this spring with the clinical trial expected to launch by May 2023.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The Clairvoyant team is excited to have Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 and KHSC as a key clinical site for our psilocybin AUD trial,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Damian Kettlewell, CEO of Clairvoyant. 카지노 게임 컬렉션 data from a related psilocybin trial for AUD has demonstrated a significant response to treatment. Our goal is to build on this research in Clairvoyant카지노 게임 컬렉션s Phase 2 randomized controlled trial which we hope will support clinical approval of psilocybin for the treatment of AUD in Canada and other countries.카지노 게임 컬렉션
