Abstract
A significant reduction of 38% in trauma symptoms related to discrimination was observed following MDMA-assisted therapy.
- Five diverse participants who experienced multiple types of discrimination were assessed before and after therapy.
- A paired-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant decrease in scores on the Trauma Symptoms of Discrimination Scale.
- The effect size of the therapy was large, suggesting a notable impact on trauma symptoms.
- All participants reported marked improvements in symptoms related to discrimination after the therapy.
- The findings suggest that MDMA-assisted therapy may alleviate discrimination-related trauma in marginalized populations.
