Key findings This is a protocol for a scoping review, so no findings are reported. The review will map evidence on measuring psychedelic-occasioned mystical or spiritual experience and its association with clinical outcomes, and on classic serotonergic psychedelics for body dysmorphic disorder and obsessive-compulsive-spectrum conditions, interpreted through an osteopathic body-mind-spirit framework.

Abstract

This is the a priori protocol for a scoping review (JBI methodology; PRISMA-ScR reporting) mapping evidence on (1) the measurement of psychedelic-occasioned mystical/spiritual experience and its association with clinical outcomes, and (2) classic serotonergic psychedelics for body dysmorphic disorder and obsessive-compulsive-spectrum conditions, interpreted through the osteopathic body–mind–spirit framework. The full protocol and charting form are attached to this project's Files.
