| description | This article is a literature review regarding the clinical use of the substance 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as MDMA or Ecstasy, to assist in psychotherapy sessions in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Due to the symptomatic characteristics, the disorder is commonly treated with antidepressants, which act on neurotransmitters in addition to psychotherapeutic monitoring. However, some patients do not adapt to the available treatment and the disorder becomes chronic. To search for articles, the PubMed and Scielo databases were used. To search for patents and their technologies, the Orbit Intelligence platform was used, using “MDMA” or “3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine” as keywords. The most recent articles demonstrate that MDMA is a potential substance to assist psychotherapy in the treatment of PTSD. Furthermore, the technologies most associated with MDMA innovations are present in patents, such as patent application “JP2023549405”, for an MDMA prodrugs. |

PTSD Psychotherapy. This article is a literature review regarding the clinical use of the substance 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as MDMA or Ecstasy, to assist in psychotherapy sessions in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Due to the symptomatic characteristics, the disorder is commonly treated with antidepressants, which act on neurotransmitters in addition to psychotherapeutic monitoring. However, some patients do not adapt to the available treatment and the disorder becomes chronic. To search for articles, the PubMed and Scielo databases were used. To search for patents and their technologies, the Orbit Intelligence platform was used, using “MDMA” or “3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine” as keywords.

Furthermore, the technologies most associated with MDMA innovations are present in patents, such as patent application “JP2023549405”, for an MDMA prodrugs. Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da utilização clínica do 3,4-Metilenodioximetanfetamina (MDMA ou Ecstasy) em sessões de psicoterapia do Tratamento do Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático (TEPT). Esse distúrbio é comumente tratado com antidepressivos, que atuam sobre neurotransmissores, além do acompanhamento psicoterapêutico, no entanto, alguns pacientes não reagem bem ao tratamento disponível, e o transtorno se torna crônico. Para a busca de artigos, foram usadas as bases de dados da PubMed e do Scielo. Para a prospecção de patentes e de suas tecnologias, foi consultada a plataforma Orbit Intelligence a partir das palavras-chave “MDMA” ou “3,4-Metilenodioxianfetamina”. Artigos mais recentes evidenciam que o MDMA é uma substância potencial para auxiliar a psicoterapia no tratamento do TEPT. Além disso, as tecnologias mais associadas às inovações com o MDMA estão presentes nas patentes, por exemplo, o Pedido de Patente n. “JP2023549405”, um pró-fármaco do MDMA.
