ABSTRACT Introduction: There is increasing interest in the potential for psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin, LSD and ketamine to treat several mental health disorders, with a growing number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) being conducted to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of psychedelics. Areas covered: We review previous literature on expectancy effects and blinding in the context of psychedelic RCTs – literature which strongly suggest that psychedelic RCTs might be…

Who is blind in psychedelic research? Letter to the editor regarding: blinding and expectancy confounds in psychedelic randomized controlled trials

    Expert review of clinical pharmacology
  • 2021
TLDR
An in-depth and carefully argued overview of unblinding (also called de-blinding, unmasking or de-masking) including promising alternatives and careful procedures to improve research practices is presented, but it is dubious if the suggested practices will benefit patients.
Great Expectations: recommendations for improving the methodological rigor of psychedelic clinical trials.
RATIONALE Psychedelic research continues to garner significant public and scientific interest with a growing number of clinical studies examining a wide range of conditions and disorders. However,…
The therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted therapies for symptom control in patients diagnosed with serious illness: a systematic review.
A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the effect of psilocybin and methylenedioxymethamphetamine on mental, behavioural or developmental disorders
TLDR
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine and psilocybin may show promise in highly selected populations when administered in closely supervised settings and with intensive support, and both agents were well tolerated in supervised trials.
Psychedelic resting-state neuroimaging: a review and perspective on balancing replication and novel analyses
TLDR
The review of the existing literature suggests that the psychedelic resting-state brain imaging field is at a crossroads at which it must also consider the critical importance of consistency and replicability to effectively converge on stable representations of the neural effects of psychedelics.
If the doors of perception were cleansed, would chronic pain be relieved? Evaluating the benefits and risks of psychedelics.

The challenges ahead for psychedelic 'medicine'.
With the extensive public, commercial and scientific interest from what has been widely termed the psychedelic renaissance, it is important that the scientific practices and results obtained from its…
Exploring the Credibility of Psilocybin-assisted Therapy and Cognitive-behavioral Therapy for Depression.
TLDR
Examination of credibility ratings for CBT and PAT among individuals reporting depressive symptoms suggests that potential clients appear cautious about PAT, and researchers and clinicians must consider patients' beliefs about treatments as potential predictors of outcomes.

Placebo response in studies of major depression: variable, substantial, and growing.
TLDR
The response to placebo in published trials of antidepressant medication for MDD is highly variable and often substantial and has increased significantly in recent years, as has the response to medication.
Patient Expectancy as a Mediator of Placebo Effects in Antidepressant Clinical Trials.
TLDR
Examination of patient expectancy and mixed-effects modeling revealed a significant week-by-group interaction, indicating that HAM-D scores for citalopram-treated participants declined at a faster rate in the open group compared with the placebo-controlled group.
Rapid antidepressant effects of the psychedelic ayahuasca in treatment-resistant depression: a randomized placebo-controlled trial
TLDR
New evidence is brought new evidence supporting the safety and therapeutic value of ayahuasca, dosed within an appropriate setting, to help treat depression, in the first controlled trial to test a psychedelic substance in treatment-resistant depression.

Active placebos versus antidepressants for depression.
TLDR
The more conservative estimates from the present analysis found that differences between antidepressants and active placebos were small, which suggests that unblinding effects may inflate the efficacy of antidepressants in trials using inert placebos.

Psychedelics and the essential importance of context
TLDR
This article highlights the pharmacological mechanisms of classic psychedelics that it is believed render their effects exceptionally sensitive to context, and develops an evidence base for long-held assumptions about the critical importance of context in relation to psychedelic use that can help minimise harms and maximise potential benefits.
A randomized, prospective pilot study of patient expectancy and antidepressant outcome
TLDR
Investigation of the relationships between clinical trial design, patient expectancy and the outcome of treatment with antidepressant medication found expectancy of improvement is affected by the probability of receiving active antidepressant medication and seems to influence antidepressant response.
Positive expectations predict improved mental-health outcomes linked to psychedelic microdosing
TLDR
A role for positive expectancy in predicting positive outcomes following psychedelic microdosing is highlighted and zealous inferences on its putative therapeutic value are cautions against.
