QIMR Berghofer researchers are leading a landmark trial of a new psychedelic treatment in combination with psychotherapy for people suffering prolonged and overwhelming grief after losing a loved one to cancer.
The Queensland trial will be one of the first in the world to use psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to target prolonged grief. Psilocybin, a psychedelic compound found in about 200 species of mushroom, has already been approved in Australia for the use in relation to treatment-resistant depression.
Up to 15 participants are being sought for the pilot study, which will investigate whether the new treatment is acceptable to and safe for people with prolonged grief, specifically in people who have lost a loved one to any form of cancer.
Principal investigator, Associate Professor Vanessa Beesley said they hoped to offer a way forward for people with the debilitating mental health condition, which occurs when symptoms of grief don’t subside after more than a year.
The 15-week trial, named Psilocybin-Assisted suppoRtive psychoTherapy IN the treatment of complicated Grief (PARTING), is being conducted with support from Woke Pharmaceuticals.
