Results of a first-in-class clinical trial on ibogaine-magnesium therapy for Special Operations Veterans (SOV) with repeated blast exposure have been published in the journal Nature. Although preliminary, outcomes have long been awaited as they provide evidence of ibogaine’s neuro-restorative effects.
The psychedelic drug ibogaine may be able to give brain injury sufferers some much needed help. A new, small study found that military veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury experienced a significant improvement in their symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD following treatment with ibogaine and magnesium. The findings merit larger clinical trials of the drug for these injuries and other brain conditions, the researchers say.
