Childrens Headache and Anxiety Management Program (CHAMP) We are now enrolling participants in a study, funded by the Migraine Research Foundation, that is evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of a family-based cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for reducing chronic headaches and excessive symptoms of anxiety in youth (7-17 years old). No medication is being evaluated in this study and all participants may continue to take their prescribed medication. A total of 30 families will be randomized to receive 8-weeks of CBT or relaxation training. Childrens symptoms will be closely monitored at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at a one-month follow-up evaluation. All evaluations and treatment are provided at no cost. If you would like more information, please contact Dr. Kelly Drake at 410-955-8021 or kdrake2@jhmi.edu. (JHMIRB protocol # NA-00019444) Principal Investigator: Golda S. Ginsburg, Ph.D; Co-Investigators: Kelly L. Drake, Ph.D., Eric Kossoff, MD
Psilocybin and Cancer: A Scientific Study of States of Consciousness We are seeking cancer patients with anxious or depressed mood to participate in a scientific study of state of consciousness brought about by the entheogen psilocybin, a psychoactive substance found in mushrooms used as a sacrament in some cultures, given in a comfortable, supportive setting. Questionnaires and interviews will be used to assess the effects of the substance on consciousness, mood, and behavior. Volunteers enrolled in the study will receive careful preparation and two sessions in which they will receive psilocybin. Structured guidance will be provided during the session and afterwards to facilitate integration of the experiences. Volunteers must be 21 to 70 years old, have no personal history of severe psychiatric illness or recent history of alcoholism or drug abuse, have someone willing to pick them up and drive them home at the end of the two psilocybin sessions (around 5:00 PM), and must live within travel distance of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore. If you would like to discuss the possibility of volunteering, please call 410-550-5990 and ask for Mary, the study's research coordinator. Confidentiality will be maintained for all applicants and participants. Roland R. Griffiths, Ph.D. is the principal investigator. More information available at http://www.bpru.org/cancer.
