WHAT DISORDERS DOES KETAMINE TREAT?

WHAT DISORDERS DOES KETAMINE TREAT?

Many people ask: what disorders does ketamine treat? Ketamine therapy has shown promising results in treating a variety of conditions, and researchers learn more about this drug’s capabilities every day. It is primarily used to alleviate the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, which refers to depression that does not respond well to traditional antidepressant medications. Ketamine therapy has also been found to be effective in managing symptoms of anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, it offers lasting relief to patients struggling with chronic pain conditions, such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and neuropathic pain. Below, you’ll find information about the various psychiatric and pain conditions that ketamine therapy may help alleviate.

chronic pain

Ketamine for Chronic pain | crps

Pain is the leading cause of physical disability in the world, but traditional pain management options—such as opiates and pharmacological solutions, physical therapy, and integrative or alternative techniques—tend to treat pain symptoms as they occur, rather than preventing the pain in the first place.

nerve pain

Ketamine for NErve Pain

Ketamine infusion therapy for nerve pain is one of the most effective and long-lasting treatments available. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that 10% of people over the age of 30 suffer from nerve pain, but finding an effective pain management solution can be difficult. 

migraine

Ketamine for Migraines

The American Medical Association (AMA) estimates that 10% of the population suffers from migraine headaches. Finding an effective migraine medicine is a challenge, since every patient responds differently to the various treatments that are available.
