Ketamine is usually administered intravenously for surgical anesthesia.\n\nThe intravenous administration of ketamine will be difficult to manage in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain.\n\nSome trials using oral ketamine for the treatment of neuropathic pain were conducted but results were heterogeneous. This may be explained by the different range of ketamine doses tested.\n\nThe aim of this clinical trial is to identify a safe and an efficient dose of orally administrated ketamine for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain.\n\nThe clinical trial will be conducted in Toulouse Hospital, France. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The study will be conducted using 4 parallel groups (three doses of ketamine versus placebo).', 'detailedDescription': 'In previous studies, it was shown that when ketamine was administrated by the intravenous route, its analgesic action was rapid. In one study, when oral ketamine was administrated to patients suffering from neuropathic pain, in six out of nine patients, pain was relieved after 24 hours post-administration.\n\nIn this study, ketamine will be administrated during seven days, which will allow us to evaluate ketamine efficiency and safety.\n\nThe effect of ketamine on pain intensity will be mainly studied using a visual analogue scale (VAS) but also taking into account the score assigned by the patient to his pain. This score will be noted down by patients before, during and after ketamine treatment.\n\nEvaluation of benefit/risk for ketamine administration during this trial, shows that even if adverse events are not excluded, the benefit for the patients may be neuropathic pain relief.\n\nBecause clinical current knowledge regarding oral administration of ketamine is limited, this trial intends to enlarge information about ketamine efficiency and safety, more particularly in neuropathic pain disorders.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '30 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients must suffer from peripheral neuropathic chronic pain.\n* Pain score must be at least 40 mm in a VAS (reflecting pain intensity during the 7 days and the day before visit 1).\n* Patients in which pain is not satisfactory relieved by level 1, 2 or 3 analgesic drugs (associated or not with antidepressants or antiepileptic drugs).
