まとめ
青少年に対するサイケデリック補助療法に関する研究は少ない. この年齢層では,MDMA補助療法やサイロサイビン補助療法のような治療法に関する試験が完了し,結果も公表されていない.
科学分野:
- 精神科 と 精神 保健
- 神経科学
- 臨床心理学
背景:
- 現代のサイケデリックの研究は主に18歳未満の青少年を除いて成人を対象としています
- サイケデリック研究への青少年の参加は倫理的・法的観点から困難です.
- 様々な精神疾患に対する サイケデリックによる治療への関心が高まっています
研究 の 目的:
- 21世紀のサイケデリック研究における 青少年への関与を 調べるため
- サイケデリック補助療法と18歳未満の参加者を含む研究の範囲を特定する.
- 青少年の精神衛生に関する サイケデリック研究における 証拠のギャップを強調するためです
主な方法:
- 2000年1月から2025年4月までの医療文献の概要
- サイケデリックによる治療と 青少年参加者の研究を データベースで検索した
- 試験登録,試験計画,公表された結果を分析した.
主要な成果:
- 18歳未満の参加者を含む3件の試験登録と1件の試験計画が特定されました.
- 青少年を対象とした臨床試験は完了しなかった.
- 青少年を含むサイケデリック研究試験の公表された結果は見つかりませんでした.
- 倫理的な承認と採用の詳細に関する不一致な報告が認められた.
結論:
- 青少年におけるサイケデリック補助療法の安全性と有効性に関する重要な証拠のギャップが存在します.
- 研究データが不足しているため,若者に対する情報に基づいた臨床ケアが妨げられる可能性があります.
- リスクと利益の比率が高い高齢の青少年を優先して 慎重で倫理的に根拠のある研究が推奨されます

Hallucinogens and Psychedelics
279
Hallucinogens are psychoactive substances that profoundly alter perceptual experiences, generating unreal visual and sensory images. Often referred to as psychedelic drugs — a term derived from the Greek words "psyche" (mind) and "delos" (revealing) — these substances include marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), among others. These drugs vary in intensity and effects.

CNS Stimulants: Psychedelic Agents
240
Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelic drugs, are a class of substances known for their ability to alter perception, cognition, and emotions. Despite their profound effects on the mind, these drugs are non-addictive, setting them apart from many other abused substances. The mechanism of action of these drugs lies in their impact on the 5-HT2A receptor in the brain. Upon activation, this receptor couples to Gq-type G proteins, triggering a cascade that releases intracellular calcium. This...

An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs
294
Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...

Preclinical Development: Overview
4.8K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...
