3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine and Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 20 studies

3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine: An amphetamine derivative that inhibits uptake of catecholamine neurotransmitters. It is a hallucinogen. It is less toxic than its methylated derivative but in sufficient doses may still destroy serotonergic neurons and has been used for that purpose experimentally.

Trial Outcomes

Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) Score

PTSD diagnostic severity was measured using the 30-item CAPS-5 structured interview (range 0-80; higher scores indicate worse PTSD). Linear mixed effects models (LMM) were used to analyze continuous outcomes, with time and time by treatment interaction included as fixed effects to determine if differences exist between conditions by time. Non-inferiority of LKM to CPT-C was claimed if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for difference in change rate from baseline to 6-month follow-up in mean CAPS or depression score was greater than (i.e., did not extend beyond) negative delta (defined as 5 points on the CAPS-5 measure). A 2-sided 95% confidence interval of the difference in change rate from baseline to 6-month follow-up between groups (CPT-C minus LKM) was calculated, with a positive value indicating a greater reduction in scores from baseline for LKM compared to CPT-C.

NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Score

Depression was assessed using the National Institute of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) depression measure. This scale utilizes item-response theory and is scored using a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and SD=10 in the US general population. Higher scores indicate more severe depression. (NCT01962714)
