2. Open-Label Clinical Trial of Apollo to Sustain Remission in Treatment-Resistant PTSD following MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy

  • Overview: The purpose of this study is to examine a treatment model for tuned vibroacoustic stimulation (TVS), an exteroceptive cue that has been shown to reduce subjective and physiological indicators of stress and increase behavioral performance. This study will test whether TVS delivered through the Apollo system improves rates of sustained symptom remission in PTSD following MDMA-assisted psychotherapy over the course of two years.
  • Eligibility:
    • Age 18 or over
    • Participants must also meet one of the following:
      • completion of the MAPS MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD clinical trial (treatment cohort)
      • completion of the MAPS MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD clinical trial (placebo cohort)
      • enrolled in the MAPS MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD clinical trial, but dropped out
  • Exclusion criteria:
    • Are not able to give adequate informed consent
    • Have any current problem which, in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with participation
    • Are unable to complete questionnaires written in English. The justification is that many of the primary analyses involve assessment of change in self-reported symptoms using measures normed in English. Participants must thus be able to read those measures to give valid indications of the extent to which they have responded to the intervention.
