This study is funded by a not-for-profit organization, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)


The study will take place at Remedy (201-703 Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON), and has been reviewed and approved by the WCG IRB (20234243).

This study is registered on clinical trials.gov (https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT06044675)


This is a study to examine the usefulness of combining MDMA with a well-researched type of psychotherapy specifically for posttraumatic stress disorder called Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy. If you and your close significant other are deemed eligible, you both will go through a screening appointment by phone, then will meet with study staff for a thorough review of the study procedures prior to enrollment. There will also be assessments with a qualified researcher and a medical doctor that take place around this time to confirm eligibility. If you are enrolled, you and your close significant other will be randomized to one of two conditions, the MDMA with CBCT condition or the CBCT-only condition. Participation in this study will include meeting with study therapists for 7 2-3 hour long CBCT sessions for the CBCT-only condition with an additional 2 full-day CBCT+MDMA sessions in the MDMA with CBCT condition. Participants randomized to the CBCT-only condition will have the option to complete 2 MDMA and integration sessions 3 months after they’ve completed their therapy. Participants will complete questionnaires and meet with qualified researchers who will ask questions about their symptoms before they start the study, halfway through the study, and 1-2 weeks and 3 months after treatment ends.
