Recently, there has been new research illuminating how ketamine infusions have been beneficial for the treatment of fibromyalgia. In one study, treatment with ketamine reduced patient’s pain by 50% in more than half of the study participants. It is thought that ketamine reduces the central nervous system sensitization associated with increased pain in fibromyalgia. Ketamine also reduces the activity of glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Treatment ketamine for chronic pain requires significantly higher doses of ketamine with infusions of much longer duration (2-3 hours) hence, the cost of these is higher.
Affordable Ketamine Infusion For Chronic Pain
Ketamine is used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, especially those that have a neuropathic component. Low dose ketamine produces strong analgesia in neuropathic pain states, presumably by inhibition of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor although other mechanisms are possibly involved, including enhancement of descending inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects at central sites.
Balance Ketamine Clinics Chicago also has experience using ketamine as an intervention for serious cases of neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and refractory headaches. When ketamine is chosen as an adjunct, it is typically given as a series of intravenous infusions, according to our evidence-based protocols. Ketamine is an anesthetic drug that is additionally recognized as an agent with antidepressant potential. For depression, it is most commonly administered as a slow intravenous infusion in sub-anesthetic doses (usually 0.5 mg/kg) over about 40 minutes. As an antidepressant, it is strikingly different from conventional antidepressant drugs in that it brings about rapid and marked attenuation of depressive symptoms even in patients with refractory depression.
