LSD reshapes the brain's response to pain, neuroimaging study finds
LSD alters brain activity and connectivity in key regions associated with pain processing, offering potential insights for pain management and the therapeutic use of psychedelics.

[This] study only included healthy volunteers who were not experiencing chronic pain. Therefore, it is unclear how LSD might affect individuals with chronic pain conditions, who may have different brain connectivity patterns than healthy individuals. Further research is needed to explore whether LSD could be effective in alleviating chronic pain in patients and how it compares to other pain management strategies.
Cool study, but it's a bit limited because of this. I was hoping they would find something analogous to how MDMA might help treatment-resistant depression.
