Consciousness and Psilocybin Effects on Well-Being: The CoPEWell Study (NCT07360301)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is exploring how psilocybin (a psychedelic drug) may improve mood and wellbeing. Many people report feeling better after taking psilocybin, but it is not clear why. The CoPEWell study will test whether these improvements come from the psychedelic experience itself (the "trip") or from direct effects on the brain. To study this, up to 120 participants will be enrolled to receive psilocybin either while awake or asleep and can expect to be on study for up to 4 months.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (5 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (7 items).
Location: University of Wisconsin — Madison, Wisconsin
Age range: 18 Years to 45 Years
