Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy (CBCT) in combination with MDMA-assisted therapy is safe and effective in people with chronic PTSD and their partners. The main question it aims to answer is: Does MDMA-assisted CBCT reduce PTSD symptoms in people with chronic PTSD? Participants (chronic PTSD patients and their partners) will undergo three non-drug preparatory therapy sessions, followed by two MDMA-assisted therapy sessions. Each MDMA-assisted therapy session will be followed by five non-drug integrative therapy using CBCT.

Primary Outcome

The total severity score is a sum of symptom frequency and intensity scores for the subscales B (re-experiencing), C (avoidance) and D (hypervigilance) and ranges from 0 to 136, with higher scores indicating greater severity of P
