Intravenous Ketamine Treatment
Intravenous Ketamine Treatment for Chronic Pain
A number of reports in the literature have suggested that ketamine is a treatment for painful disorders, addiction, and depression. Ketamine has been shown to improve pain from conditions such as:
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS , formerly known as RSD)
Ketamine treatment can be useful for other difficult syndromes where pain has become intractable, such as:
- Fibromyalgia
- Central Pain from Stroke
- Failed back surgery syndrome
Ketamine is not FDA approved. However, it has become widely utilized because of the ease of administration and relatively low risk. Ketamine can be administered in an office setting with appropriate monitoring. More and more patients are getting beneficial effects of IV ketamine, and relying less on narcotic pain medications.
If you have CRPS or any other intractable pain syndrome, and your current pain management is not working, you may be a candidate for this therapy. Contact our pain management center in Pompano Beach for a complimentary consultation at (954) 545-0106 or click here
