ClinConnect Summary
The RECAP2 Study is a clinical trial designed to explore how a substance called psilocybin, when combined with a medication called midazolam, can improve emotional wellbeing in individuals who have experienced a slight decline in their mood. The researchers want to find out what dose of psilocybin works best for enhancing wellbeing by looking at how it affects the brain's ability to adapt and change.
To participate, individuals need to be between 18 and 70 years old, in good physical health, and able to speak English. They should have a modest decrease in their feeling of wellbeing but not have any major mood or anxiety disorders. Participants will receive one of four different combinations of medications and will undergo various assessments, including an MRI scan and questionnaires. It’s important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting, so interested individuals will need to wait for further announcements.
