Effects of ayahuasca on neuropsychological performance and social cognition: A systematic review

Although these findings are promising, there are methodological limitations, such as small sample sizes, diverse administration protocols, the observational nature of several studies, and possible learning effects. Further controlled, randomized studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and consolidate the evidence. The PROSPERO ID for this study is CRD42024559125.

Abstract

Although these findings are promising, there are methodological limitations, such as small sample sizes, diverse administration protocols, the observational nature of several studies, and possible learning effects. Further controlled, randomized studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and consolidate the evidence. The PROSPERO ID for this study is CRD42024559125.
