In
military veterans with traumatic brain injury, treatment with ibogaine
plus magnesium led to dramatic clinical improvements and a favorable
safety profile; further studies with state-of-the art safety monitoring
will be crucial to unlocking the potential benefits of this psychedelic
compound.
The horrors of war have
been with us throughout human history, and neuropsychiatric aftereffects
have garnered increasing attention in recent years. Suicide now kills
more combat veterans than wartime injury1.
What was once described as ‘shell shock’ is now widely subclassified as
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) or
both. The latter is a signature injury among military service members
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and although many recover fully, a
substantial number experience ongoing mood disorders, sleep disruption,
cognitive impairments, headache and many other concerns. Despite decades
of research, we do not fully understand why different individuals are
plagued by different TBI symptom clusters. This gives rise to a critical
translational challenge, made more urgent by the fact that psychiatric
symptoms linked to TBI tend to be more treatment resistant than their
idiopathic counterparts. Thus, it is likely that TBI requires the
development of distinct treatment approaches, rather than repurposing of
existing psychiatric medications2,3.
