Spray-Based Psilocybin Therapies

This Treatment Aims to Treat PTSD Via a Psilocybin Nasal Spray

Biopharmaceutical firm Madrigal Mental Care has announced an innovative new nanotechnology that makes it possible for psilocybin therapy to be delivered through the format of a nasal spray in order to allow for more meticulous and detail-oriented treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic magic mushrooms, has long shown a lot of promise as a potential treatment for PTSD, but dosage control and safety oversight has been a persistent challenge. This is precisely what Madrigal's nasal spray technology looks to overcome. The system, invented by Professor Amnon Sintov of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, uses biodegradable nanoparticles to offer focused and rapid delivery of psilocybin in controlled doses.

While preclinical trials and in-human clinical trials will need to be conducted to help bring the treatment to market, the advent of a spray-based psilocybin therapy method is a promising development for the nascent psychedelic therapy market.
