NCT05997134
Brief Summary:
To evaluate the efficacy of three regimens of sub anesthetic dose of ketamine infusion in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome
Detailed Description:
Ketamine N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker that has recently been studied for its analgesic effect is a phencyclidine or phenyl cyclohexyl piperidine (PCP) derivative that initially became commercially available for human use in 1970 as a rapid-acting intravenous (IV) anesthetic. It is currently classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an anesthetic induction agent in doses ranging from 1 to 4.5 mg/kg.
Ketamine has proven to be a desirable drug, despite of its induction dissociative effects and abuse potential. It is favorable due to its short half-life and lack of clinically significant respiratory depression. In addition to its anesthetic effects, ketamine has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant activities.
