In this non-randomised, three-arm clinical trial of 84 adults bereaved within 12 months, ayahuasca-assisted meaning reconstruction therapy (A-MR) was well tolerated and produced significantly larger reductions in grief severity and greater improvements in prolonged grief symptoms, post‑traumatic growth and quality of life than meaning reconstruction alone or no treatment. These preliminary findings support A-MR as a potentially effective early intervention for severe grief but require replication in larger randomised trials.
