Now that #psychedelic trial's lack of blinding is hot again, lets remind ourselves that for most treatments blinding doesn't even work as a concept, eg. mindfulness, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions etc. Lack of blinding is the rule rather than the exception, a short 🧵

Blinding as a concept only works for pharmacological treatments, but there are many more interventions where 'blinding' does not even work conceptually (see 👆). Nobody is upset that blinding quality is not measured and blinding integrity is not maintained in an exercise trial.

The tension:
-psychedelics are pharmacological (lets set aside therapy for a sec), so blinding should work
-blinding obviously does not work due to strong subjective drug effects
Its an 'unblindable' pharma treatment (at least by conventional methods), which is strange at first

@psybalazs

The recent #psilocybin vs. alcoholism trial used an active placebo (diphenhydramine). Despite this ~94% correctly guessed their treatment, showing that blinding didn't work. IMO this shows that active placebos likely wont solve the blinding issue of #psychedelic trials, a 🧵

Active placebos may have perceivable effects, but these wont confuse most patients, because psychedelics have very specific subjective effects. When a patient experiences drug effects, in most cases its easy to decipher whether its due to a psychedelic or some other drug.

Even if someone is unfamiliar with psychedelic effects going into a trial, modern ethical research standards require doctors to discuss likely effects with patients, making blind breaking that much easier

@thelablab

The 'default mode network' (#DMN) is the neurobiological poster child for #psychedelic #drugs (e.g., see #HowToChangeYourMind). A preliminary meta-analysis from the @PsychedelicUNIT suggests this might be overstated, w/ other regions being more impacted, like ye olde cerebellum.

These results are from 'classic' #psychedelics like #LSD and #psilocybin taken by healthy people during resting-state neuroimaging. We used dose as a covariate. A possible caveat is that we mixed blob and functional connectivity analyses which we will now try and model.

The details will soon be in a preprint and we will make the code and larger dataset publicly available. We hope this will help others to address their own questions with further meta-analyses. For example, we asked....

Does blinding work in #antidepressant #RCT? Recently there were 2 papers on this topic with opposite conclusions. A🧵on #blinding and why #robustness #DataAnalytics may lead to better #science

The two papers are tinyurl.com/2p9atk4t (p1; by @AmeliaJScott, @LSharpeUSYD and @BenColagiuri) and tinyurl.com/mtmtx7m3 (p2; by @Toshi_FRKW and colleagues).

Their two conclusions:
-p1: "meta-analysis suggested that blinding was unsuccessful among participants and investigators."
-p2: "patients or assessors were unlikely to judge which treatment the patients were on."

A case study on how not to try & legitimize the medical use of psychedelics, which are controlled substances.

There is a potentially transformative treatment for mental illness here.

We don't need ignorant cowboys skirting the law & doing more harm than good. 1/

https://twitter.com/4corners/status/1551311090247942144

2/ Psychedelic treatments are showing promise but more research is needed to prove safety & efficacy, especially for real-world use

The process to legitimizing the medical use of psychedelics should be evidence-based & conducted in consultation with experts in the field.

3/ There is much to learn from the legalization of medical cannabis, which has been mostly a success in Australia.

Thanks to amazing players like @UnitedInCompas1 @Lambert_Usyd & @iainsmcgregor who have strived for evidence building & evidence-based changes in legislation.

On July 21st, I’ll go LIVE on the #μltradelic podcast (@UltradelicHQ) to discuss @michaelpollan’s new @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind. Why? #HTCYM clearly failed to address the growing #epidemic of #SexualAssault within the #psychedelic community. #MeToo

A Thread 🧵

https://twitter.com/sashasisko/status/1548104724099899392

2/ Back in May of last year, @michaelpollan publicly discussed his belief that there is “value” in “inoculating the public against inevitable negative stories” about #psychedelics including “sexual abuse in the treatment room” 🚩 🚩 🚩

Inoculate = make immune to, right? 🚩 🚩 🚩

3/ In 1963, Bob Dylan poetically asked listeners across the globe

“How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see? [...] How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry? [...] The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.”

1/ @michaelpollan's highly-expected @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind just premiered! 📺🍄 Despite near-universal praise, #HTCYM is rife with errors & borders on historical revisionism 🤥

A critique 🤔🧵 #LSD #MDMA #Peyote #Mescaline #Psilocybin #Mushrooms #Psychedelic @MAPS

2/ Before I get started, I'll give everyone a little bit of background information. @michaelpollan released a non-fiction work entitled "How to Change Your Mind" in May of 2018. Before the end of that year, his book about #psychedelic drugs became a @nytimes bestseller.

3/ @michaelpollan achieved massive coverage for this self-described "mental travelogue" of his #psychedelic experiences. Soon enough, Mr. Pollan became a prominent figure w/in the so-called "Psychedelic Renaissance". In the process, he gained a rather interesting reputation.

@psybalazs

Despite the importance of #blinding in medical research, most trials don't assess blinding integrity, partially because there is no method to adjust trial results for blinding integrity... until now! New preprint with implications for #microdose and #psychedelic research 🧪🧵👇

First, we define activated expectancy bias (AEB), which is an uneven distribution of expectancy effects between treatment arms due to patients recognizing their treatment allocation. AEB can be viewed as residual expectancy bias not eliminated by the trial’s blinding procedure.

The main idea behind AEB is that if treatment allocation can be deduced by participants, then, treatment expectancy can bias the outcomes in the same manner as it biases non-blinded trials, for example as in open-label trials.
