lysergic acid diethylamide and Anxiety Neuroses

lysergic acid diethylamide has been researched along with Anxiety Neuroses in 34 studies

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide: Semisynthetic derivative of ergot (Claviceps purpurea). It has complex effects on serotonergic systems including antagonism at some peripheral serotonin receptors, both agonist and antagonist actions at central nervous system serotonin receptors, and possibly effects on serotonin turnover. It is a potent hallucinogen, but the mechanisms of that effect are not well understood.
lysergic acid diethylamide : An ergoline alkaloid arising from formal condensation of lysergic acid with diethylamine.

Trial Outcomes

Baseline State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

"The STAI differentiates between State Anxiety, defined as anxiety experienced in reaction to a specific environmental circumstance, and Trait Anxiety, defined as long-standing nervous affect or anxiety disorder. The STAI-state subscale is a 20-item self-reported scale which assesses subjects' levels of transient, situationally oriented, anxiety. Participants respond to each item by selecting a response from a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 4 (Not at all) to 1 (Very much so). STAI-state scores are summed for a total score that range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety. The STAI-trait subscale also consists of 20-items and is scored the same way, with total scores ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater trait anxiety." (NCT00920387)
