Researchers from Stanford University conducted the study, providing the drug to 30 Special Operations Forces veterans who suffered from predominantly mild traumatic brain injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers additionally found ibogaine was more effective in treating traumatic brain injury than cognitive rehabilitation, psychotherapy or medications that target specific symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur study provides initial evidence that suggests that [ibogaine] could be a powerful therapeutic for the &#8230; symptoms that can emerge following [traumatic brain injury] and repeated exposure to blasts and combat, including suicidality,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/newsletters\/2023\/12\/15\/first-ever-provision-for-psychedelic-studies-included-in-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">comes on the heels of legislation<\/a> in the fiscal 2024 defense policy bill meant to explore the medicinal properties of numerous psychedelics, including ibogaine, with service members declared as eligible to take part. If approved by Defense Sec. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/newsletters\/2023\/12\/15\/first-ever-provision-for-psychedelic-studies-included-in-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lloyd Austin<\/a>, any member of the military diagnosed with either post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury can take part in a clinical study that uses authorized funds from the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing of the ibogaine study and legislation on government-funding for psychedelic studies comes at a consequential time for the veteran community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom suffer from near-epidemic levels of PTSD, with nearly 30% of those veterans reporting PTSD symptoms at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suicide levels among veterans are higher than what the federal government once thought, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2022\/09\/17\/veterans-suicide-rate-may-be-double-federal-estimates-study-suggests\/\" target=\"_blank\">America\u2019s Warrior Partnership<\/a>, working with the University of Alabama and Duke University, found thousands of suspected or confirmed veteran suicides in eight states from 2014 to 2018 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2022\/09\/17\/veterans-suicide-rate-may-be-double-federal-estimates-study-suggests\/\" target=\"_blank\">were not counted<\/a> by federal officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis research has the potential to reduce the stigma around one of the therapeutic approaches that demonstrates a substantial improvement from combat-related TBI and PTSD,\u201d Amber Capone, CEO of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, told Military Times. \u201cWhat we are witnessing is not just theoretical optimism but a tangible beacon of hope for reshaping the recovery journey for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ibogaine, meanwhile, remains constrained by its classification as a Schedule I drug under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/newsletters\/2023\/12\/15\/first-ever-provision-for-psychedelic-studies-included-in-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Controlled Substances Act<\/a>, according to researchers. That indicates there is no \u201ccurrently acceptable medical use and a high potential for abuse\u201d \u2014 along with concerns over toxins impacting the brain and heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers noted, though, that those concerns could be mitigated through proper dosing, accounting for preexisting conditions and taking magnesium. More studies are needed to determine such factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe results from this first study are dramatic, and we intend to study this compound further,\u201d Associate Professor Nolan Williams, who led the study, told Military Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The study comes on the heels of legislation meant to explore the
