Ceiba’s ongoing research projects

One of Ceiba’s primary commitments is to improving the quality of iboga- and ibogaine-assisted therapies. Our research programs are currently focused on mixed methods analysis of research questions that are likely to help us better understand the ibogaine experience and to inform clinical best practices.

Have you ever taken iboga or ibogaine?

Quick Survey
This is a short, informal, and non-scientific survey. Results are displayed anonymously.

Did you take iboga or ibogaine in the last 48-hours?

Exploring the Oneirogenic Experience in Ibogaine Therapy
This is a mixed-method observational study that seeks to explore the nature of the oneirogenic experience stimulated by ibogaine, and to make an exploratory assessment of some factors that influence this experience. Takes approximately 6-8 hours of your time, over a 6 week period.

This study has completed enrollment and data collection. Thank you to all those who participated!
