Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have been researching safe methods of treating PTSD without harmful drugs. I have researched psilocybin and feel strong Lu that it may be helpful. After multiple therapies. That may be beneficial.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I’m considering using psilocybin on my own. It is now decriminalized in Colorado. I would prefer to donate as a volunteer to legitimate medical research, and I would prefer the medical oversight of such activity. My career was involving biomedical research so I’m enthusiastic about learning and contributing.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have been having problems with TBI symptoms and ptsd from a very active lifestyle including fighting, skate boarding, football, and construction work. I have had numerous concussions including a major concussion with short term memory issues resulting from a 25 foot fall. I have migraine headaches. I have been studying the effects of psilocybin and feel like I need to try it. I want to do it legally and trials seem to be the best way to do that.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I HAVE SLOWLY FELL DOWNHILL SINCE THE INJURY BUT THE PAST TWO YEARS IS LIKE ITS HAPPENING AT warp speed , so scary I cannot form the words.. I have worked with many modalities yet really didnt start with helping my brain until I was 46. I am truly fearful of the outcome as things having taken such a dark plunge. I would drive anywhere to get help that may actually work. the trials and research I have read over the years make it out like this is a no-brainer as far as the numbers on how well they did. Please let me know what this entails. Thank you!
