Sub-dissociative Dose Ketamine in Treatment of Vaso-occlusive Pain Event in Children and Young Adults
The purpose of this research is to see if ketamine is effective and safe in treating children and young adults with sickle cell disease experiencing sickle cell related pain. In this study, we will compare the outcomes (such as pain scores) in persons who receive standard of care pain medicine …
Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Propofol-Ketamine Combination Versus Propofol Monotherapy in Geriatric Patients Under Invasive Ventilation
The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of propofol-ketamine ("Ketofol") versus propofol monotherapy in geriatric ICU patients. Eligible participants are critically ill elderly patients with a history of cardiac disease who require endotracheal intubation and have not yet received sedation. The investigators focus on …
Long-Term Maintenance With Ketamine and Esketamine for Reduction of Suicide in High-Risk Patients With Depression
The study will consist of a 24-week-long trial examining outcomes in patients with Major Depressive Disorder and suicidal ideation who will receive intravenous (IV) ketamine and intranasal (IN) esketamine, compared to a large sample of matched historical controls. Patients will be recruited from an inpatient psychiatric unit. Eligible patients who …
Feasibility Study of Oral Ketamine Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Anxiety in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer
This is a prospective, single center, double blind, randomized, crossover feasibility study of oral ketamine versus placebo for the treatment of anxiety in patients with pancreatic cancer currently receiving or within 12 weeks of receiving cancer targeted therapy. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of enrolling subjects and …
i-CBT and IV Ketamine for Suicidality in Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Randomized, Midazolam-Controlled Clinical Trial
Approximately four thousand Canadians die by suicide every year, and suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth and young adults (15-34 years). Most people with depression experience thoughts of suicide and many will also plan and/or attempt suicide at some time in their life. There is an …
The Effect of Dormicum-Ketamine Versus Dexmedetomidine on Emergence Delirium During Deep Sedation in Paediatric Burn Patients
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dormicum-ketamine versus dexmedetomidine on postoperative emergence delirium in pediatric patients undergoing deep sedation for burn-related procedures
Neuropharmacologic Imaging and Biomarker Assessments of Response to Acute and Repeated-Dosed Ketamine Infusions in Major Depressive Disorder
Background Most medications that treat depression take weeks or months to work. Researchers want to develop fast-acting treatments. One dose of ketamine has a rapid antidepressant effect. For most people, this lasts a week or less. Repeated doses of ketamine may help maintain this effect. Objective Main Study: To study …
Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4- Isoxazole Propionic Acid Receptor Components of the Anti-Depressant Ketamine Response
The proposed study will assess the combined effect of perampanel and ketamine on the anti-depressant response in individuals with treatment resistant depression. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that stimulation of Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4- Isoxazole Propionic Acid receptors (AMPAR) is critical to the anti-depressant response of ketamine.
Study of the Neural Circuits Underlying the Negative Emotional Bias of Depressive Disorders and Their Response to Ketamine
Major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting up to 300 million people each year, and one in five people will experience depression at least once in their lives. Emotional bias is an essential component of characterized depressive episodes, leading depressed patients to attribute a more negative …
The Efficacy and Safety of Short Term S-ketamine Infusion as an Adjunctive Therapy in Patients With Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome where current medications have limited efficacy and a slow onset of action. Esketamine shows potential as a rapid-acting analgesic, but previous low-dose studies failed to demonstrate long-term benefits. The efficacy of higher-dose ESK as an adjunctive therapy when standard treatments are insufficient remains unclear.
