ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#This study investigated trends in the study of phytochemical treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).@*METHODS@#The Web of Science database (2007-2022) was searched using the search terms "phytochemicals" and "PTSD," and relevant literature was compiled. Network clustering co-occurrence analysis and qualitative narrative review were conducted.@*RESULTS@#Three hundred and one articles were included in the analysis of published research, which has surged since 2015 with nearly half of all relevant articles coming from North America. The category is dominated by neuroscience and neurology, with two journals, Addictive Behaviors and Drug and Alcohol Dependence, publishing the greatest number of papers on these topics. Most studies focused on psychedelic intervention for PTSD. Three timelines show an "ebb and flow" phenomenon between "substance use/marijuana abuse" and "psychedelic medicine/medicinal cannabis." Other phytochemicals account for a small proportion of the research and focus on topics like neurosteroid turnover, serotonin levels, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression.@*CONCLUSION@#Research on phytochemicals and PTSD is unevenly distributed across countries/regions, disciplines, and journals. Since 2015, the research paradigm shifted to constitute the mainstream of psychedelic research thus far, leading to the exploration of botanical active ingredients and molecular mechanisms. Other studies focus on anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammation. Please cite this article as: Gao B, Qu YC, Cai MY, Zhang YY, Lu HT, Li HX, Tang YX, Shen H.

ABSTRACT

Utilizados em vários contextos pela humanidade desde tempos imemoriais até os dias atuais, os psicodélicos despertaram a atenção dos pesquisadores na primeira metade do século passado. Desde então, mesmo com o longo período de restrições às pesquisas científicas devido à implementação da Controlled Substance Act em 1970, inúmeras investigações, principalmente nos últimos anos, vêm indicando o renascimento dos psicodélicos como importantes ferramentas em psicoterapia assistida. Esta revisão narrativa pretende divulgar a trajetória de pesquisa de psicodélicos selecionados (LSD, psilocibina, ayahuasca e MDMA), lançando luz sobre estudos clínicos que indicam a eficácia e a segurança médica dessas substâncias no tratamento de distúrbios mentais como depressão, ansiedade, dependência química e transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Adicionalmente, também são apontados alguns eventos históricos e culturais relevantes que, de alguma forma, dialogam com esta trajetória.(AU)


Used in various contexts by mankind from immemorial time to nowadays, psychedelics aroused the attention of researchers in the first half of last century. Since then, even with the long period of restrictions on scientific research due to the implementation of the Controlled Substance Act in 1970, accumulated investigations, especially in recent years, have been indicating the renaissance of psychedelics as important tools in assisted psychotherapy. This narrative review intends to disclose the research trajectory of selected psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca and MDMA) shedding light on clinical studies which support medical efficacy and safety of these substances to treat mental diseases such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, some relevant historical and cultural events that somehow had dialogued with this trajectory are also approached.(AU)

ABSTRACT

A Ayahuasca é uma bebida alucinógena utilizada em contexto religioso, sendo associada a melhorias na saúde mental dos usuários. O presente estudo teve como objetivo fazer um levantamento da produção de pesquisas que avaliam o seu potencial terapêutico no campo da Psicologia. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa de literatura com os descritores "Psicologia" e "Ayahuasca" indexados no portal CAPES, nas plataformas Medline e Scielo. Foram obtidos 34 artigos e foram aplicados critérios de inclusão ­ serem escritos nas línguas portuguesa ou inglesa, e possuírem o descritor "Ayahuasca" no título ­ e de exclusão ­ não abordarem o uso terapêutico da ayahuasca como problema de pesquisa. Após a filtragem, obteve-se 8 artigos publicados entre 2006 e 2018, divididos em 10 estudos, sendo 7 de pesquisa básica e 3 de pesquisa aplicada. Conclui-se que a produção de estudos sobre a eficácia terapêutica da Ayahuasca e seus efeitos na saúde mental dos usuários é recente e escassa. É importante que estudos futuros abordem além de parâmetros psicopatológicos ou farmacológicos questões sociais e culturais atrelados ao uso de substâncias. É essencial que particularidades do ambiente no qual a substância foi ingerida e da história de vida do usuário sejam consideradas e investigadas minunciosamente


The Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic drink used in religious context and its use is associated with improvements in mental health of users. This study aimed to do a survey of the researches that evaluate the therapeutic potential of Ayahuasca in Psychology. A narrative literature review was performed with the descriptors "Psychology" and "Ayahuasca" indexed on the CAPES portal, on Medline and Scielo platforms. Thirty-four articles were obtained and inclusion criteria were applied - written in Portuguese or English, and having the descriptor "Ayahuasca" in the title - and exclusion - not addressing the therapeutic use of ayahuasca as a research problem. After filtering, we obtained 8 articles published between 2006 and 2018, divided into 10 studies: 7 of basic research and 3 of applied research. It is concluded that the production of studies on the therapeutic efficacy of Ayahuasca and its effects on users' mental health is recent and scarce. It is important that future studies address beyond psychopathological or pharmacological parameters, analising social and cultural issues linked to substance use. It is essential that particularities of the environment in which the substance was taken and of the user's life history are considered and investigated in detail.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Ayahuasca (AYA), a natural psychedelic brew prepared from Amazonian plants and rich in dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and harmine, causes effects of subjective well-being and may therefore have antidepressant actions. This study sought to evaluate the effects of a single dose of AYA in six volunteers with a current depressive episode. Methods: Open-label trial conducted in an inpatient psychiatric unit. Results: Statistically significant reductions of up to 82% in depressive scores were observed between baseline and 1, 7, and 21 days after AYA administration, as measured on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and the Anxious-Depression subscale of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). AYA administration resulted in nonsignificant changes in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) scores and in the thinking disorder subscale of the BPRS, suggesting that AYA does not induce episodes of mania and/or hypomania in patients with mood disorders and that modifications in thought content, which could indicate psychedelic effects, are not essential for mood improvement. Conclusions: These results suggest that AYA has fast-acting anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in patients with a depressive disorder. .

ABSTRACT

El presente texto hace un breve recorrido sobre los usos terapéuticos que han tenido la LSD, MDMA, THC, GHB, DMT, Psilocybina y Mescalina en la historia, así como también refiere algunos de los beneficios para la salud física y mental que se considera tienen en la actualidad. Esta información científica se contrapone a la normativa internacional en materia de drogas, que las clasifica como sustancias prohibidas en la Lista I, debido a su falta de uso médico aceptado por Estados Unidos y a su alto potencial de abuso. En este trayecto también se intenta comprender a qué hace referencia dicho potencial, así como las motivaciones que podrían existir detrás de la prohibición del uso terapéutico de estas drogas. En este marco, se consideran consecuencias para la salud de la población, las que atentan contra los Derechos Humanos de las personas que podrían requerir alguna de estas sustancias.


This paper makes a brief of the therapeutic uses have had the LSD, MDMA, THC, GHB, DMT, Psilocybin and Mescaline in history, as well as some of the benefits referred to physical and mental health that are considered today. This scientific information seems contrary to international legislation on drugs, which classifies as prohibited substances in Schedule I, due to its lack of acceptance medical use by the United States and its high potential for abuse. In this way also try to understand what makes this potential reference, and the reasons that could be behind the ban on therapeutic use of these drugs. In this framework, we consider health consequences of the population, which violate the human rights of people who may require some of these substances.

ABSTRACT

Esta pesquisa visa a compreender o uso ritual da ayahuasca (chamado de Daime pelos participantes) na recuperação de pessoas em situação de rua pela Unidade de Resgate Flor das Águas Padrinho Sebastião, grupo situado em São Paulo. A ayahuasca é um chá feito da mistura de algumas plantas amazônicas, mais comumente o jagube e a chacrona, utilizado de forma ritual por populações indígenas e mestiças há muito tempo, e que leva a uma alteração na experiência de si e do mundo em sua ingestão. Vem ganhando espaço na sociedade brasileira para diversos usos, tendo o uso ritual-religioso regulamentado no Brasil em 2006. No entanto, seu uso terapêutico necessita de comprovações científicas para que seja permitido. Compreender estes usos é importante para a saúde pública, considerada aqui como campo de conhecimento interdisciplinar que visa a melhorar e a manter a saúde e qualidade de vida das populações por meio da compreensão das condições de vida da sociedade e de intervenções na vida coletiva dos seres humanos, pensada na perspectiva da redução dos riscos e minoração dos danos. A pesquisa foi feita numa perspectiva fenomenológica, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com os realizadores e dois participantes do trabalho que já estiveram em situação de rua, além de observação-participante, no qual pesquisador esteve presente aos rituais e na realização das outras terapêuticas. O uso ritual da ayahuasca neste grupo se dá em conjunto com outras terapêuticas de tradição mestiça peruana, ligadas ao que é chamado na literatura acadêmica de vegetalismo, porém diferenciando-se dele em alguns pontos. A partir do que foi observado e relatado, perceberam-se alguns elementos que vão ser fundamentais para a compreensão do sentido deste uso terapêutico: experiência simbólica como aspecto principal; uso do Daime de forma ritual como relacionamento com uma alteridade sagrada que ensina; terapêuticas pensadas de formas individualizada e contextualizada; importância da relação com o dirigente como cuidador admirado e com conhecimento; noção do terapêutico ligada à despoluição de si e construção de perspectiva de vida e de ideal moral individual a ser alcançado. A partir disso que foi observado, ao final são tecidos alguns comentários em relação às possibilidades científicas de se avaliarem os possíveis riscos associados a este uso e a eficácia do uso terapêutico.

ABSTRACT

The ethnobotanical, anthropological and ethnopharmacological literature has shown a strong relationship between hallucinogenic plants and medical efficacy. Despite evidence from previous studies, many issues have not been discussed clearly enough to enable acceptance of this relationship. This study uses a literature survey to track how different authors have dealt with the issue and what future research opportunities may emerge.


La literatura etnobotánica, antropológica y etnofarmacológica ha señalado una fuerte relación entre las plantas alucinógenas y su efectividad como medicamento. A pesar de todas las pruebas e informes, hay muchas cuestiones que no están claramente discutidas para permitir la aceptación de esta idea. En este trabajo, a partir de una investigación bibliográfica, nos proponemos investigar cómo diferentes autores se han ocupado de la cuestión y cuáles son las posibilidades de investigación que puedan emerger de esto.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To examine the recent evidence that marijuana and other cannabinoids have therapeutic potential. METHODS: Literature published since 1997 was searched using the following terms: cannabinoid, marijuana, THC, analgesia, cachexia, glaucoma, movement, multiple sclerosis, neurological, pain, Parkinson, trial, vomiting. Qualifying clinical studies were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Selected open-label studies and surveys are also discussed. RESULTS: A total of 15 independent, qualifying clinical trials were identified, of which only three had more than 100 patients each. Two large trials found that cannabinoids were significantly better than placebo in managing spasticity in multiple sclerosis. Patients self-reported greater sense of motor improvement in multiple sclerosis than could be confirmed objectively. In smaller qualifying trials, cannabinoids produced significant objective improvement of tics in Tourette's disease, and neuropathic pain. A new, non-psychotropic cannabinoid also has analgesic activity in neuropathic pain. No significant improvement was found in levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease or post-operative pain. No difference from active placebo was found for management of cachexia in a large trial. Some immune system parameters changed in HIV-1 and multiple sclerosis patients treated with cannabinoids, but the clinical significance is unknown. Quality of life assessments were made in only three of 15 qualifying clinical trials. CONCLUSION: Cannabinoids may be useful for conditions that currently lack effective treatment, such as spasticity, tics and neuropathic pain. New delivery systems for cannabinoids and cannabis-based medicinal extracts, as well as new cannabinoid derivatives expand the options for cannabinoid therapy. More well-controlled, large clinical tests are needed, especially with active placebo.

ABSTRACT

Los alucinógenos, drogas cuya caracteristica es deformar la percepcion de la realidad objetiva, producir alucinaciones, son substancias quimicas que ademas acompañan a este efecto desorientacion, cambios en el pensamiento, en la percepcion y en el caracter.En Bolivia, el consumo de alucinógenos comenzo en la segunda mitad de la decada de los sesenta, es por eso que el consumo de alucinógenos en el pais esta ligado a estas substancias nativas extraidas de plantas que crecen en Bolivia.(au)
