Chronic pain is a prevalent yet complex condition affecting many individuals, often leading to significant physical and emotional distress. While prescription opioids are the standard approach for managing this pain, their addictive nature and limited efficacy create challenges for patients. Recent studies suggest that psychedelics may offer a viable alternative, providing therapeutic benefits. A notable 2023 study revealed that a substantial majority of chronic pain patients experienced better relief from psychedelics than conventional medications, with notable reductions in dependency on other substances as well.
Chronic pain is a significant source of suffering and disability often treated with prescription opioids, which are addictive and provide limited relief.
Research indicates psychedelics may benefit chronic pain patients, with 86.3% of participants reducing or stopping at least one substance post-use.
