Effects of Psilocybin in Post-Treatment Lyme Disease
This study will examine the effects of psilocybin on Lyme disease symptom burden and quality of life in people with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease (PTLD). This pilot study will evaluate the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in people with well-documented current Post-Treatment Lyme Disease (PTLD). Study measures will assess the impact of psilocybin-assisted treatment on overall symptom burden and quality of life in 20 people with PTLD. This is an open-label proof-of-concept trial in which participants will complete an 8-week course of study treatment including two psilocybin sessions (15mg in week 4 and 15 or 25mg in week 6) with psychological support, and follow-up assessments 1, 3, and 6 months after the final psilocybin session.
