Abstract
Psilocybin demonstrates a clinically meaningful reduction in phantom and residual limb pain. Adaptive sensory environments (ASEs) separately offer biosensor-guided modulation of psychological states during psychoactive therapy. This Patent Highlight explores the pharmacological findings of a psilocybin trial and discusses future integration with ASE systems to precision and scale psychedelic-assisted interventions.
