MDMA/PTSD Canada Study

MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Principal Investigator: Ingrid Pacey, MD and Andrew Feldmar, PhD

This study has full approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and from Health Canada. Data will also be submitted to the U.S. FDA. Psychiatrist Ingrid Pacey, M.D., a distinguished Holotropic Breathwork facilitator and psychologist Andrew Feldmar, Ph.D. will be the co-therapists leading the study. We are currently working to obtain an import permit to import the MDMA into Canada from a pharmacologist in Switzerland. The study will begin enrollment after the import permit is obtained and an amended protocol is approved by the IRB.
