The Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial as the Gold Standard in Psychedelic Research: Neither Feasible Nor Desirable.

Kennedy Institute of Ethics journal 2025 Daniel Villiger

Double-blind, randomized, controlled trials (DB-RCT), if designed and conducted well, are widely considered the gold standard in medical research for purposes of establishing causal efficacy. Their logic is compelling: by balancing out all confounding variables through the research design, DB-RCTs are thought to reveal whether a proposed treatment-by virtue of its characteristic...

Virtual reality and psychedelics: new perspectives and new possibilities in the treatment of alcohol use disorder.

Frontiers in Psychiatry 2025 Scott Matthews, Antonino Greco, Clara Rastelli et al. 1 citation

Set and setting in psilocybin-assisted therapy: A qualitative study of patients with cancer and depression.

General Hospital Psychiatry 2025 Yvan Beaussant, Elise C. Tarbi, Kabir Nigam et al. 3 citations

Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) shows promise for cancer-related depression, yet little research has examined how therapeutic context shapes patient experiences. While set (mindset) and setting (environment) are considered central to psychedelic treatment, empirical evidence on their role in PAT acceptability remains limited. This study explores factors influencing the acceptability of PAT...
