Ketamine is known for its anesthetic and dissociative properties. At standard doses, ketamine serves as an anesthetic for surgical procedures.
At lower doses, ketamine affects the central nervous system, influencing the patient’s perception of pain. Ketamine blocks N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and modulates glutamate, both of which are integral factors in pain signaling.
Chronic pain can be challenging to manage, and many patients have turned to ketamine after other medications have failed to provide relief.
While ketamine has helped many patients find relief from chronic pain, it is essential for each individual to consult with their healthcare team to determine if ketamine is a viable option for their specific condition.
Recent studies highlight ketamine’s potential to help patients with chronic pain. While regular doses of ketamine can cause hallucinations and dissociative effects, low doses are generally well tolerated.
Ketamine can serve as an alternative to opiates and can provide analgesic effects in as fast as 60 minutes.
With long-term administration of ketamine, patients can experience up to 3 months of analgesic effects post-administration.
Ketamine has also shown the ability to help patients with depression, which is sometimes a comorbidity to chronic pain.
Ketamine therapy has helped many patients suffering from chronic pain. If you would like to learn more, don’t hesitate to contact our pharmacists.
