- There is emerging evidence suggesting ibogaine may help treat substance use disorders.
- Most existing clinical data on ibogaine focuses on opioid dependence rather than AUD.
- This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of ibogaine in patients with AUD.
- Preliminary effects of ibogaine on AUD were assessed but require further investigation.
