The Efficacy of a Subanesthetic Doses of IV Ketamine in the Treatment Drug Resistant Epilepsy
Ketamine is a medication that came into clinical practice in the 1960's. Ketamine is used as an anesthetic and to provide pain relief. Recently, Ketamine was approved to treat drug resistant depression using subanesthetic doses. In the hospital setting, intravenous anesthetic dosages are used to treat unrelenting seizures known as …
Analgesic Effects of Caudal S-ketamine for Supplementation of Ropivacaine Caudal Analgesia in Children With Hypospadias
Caudal analgesia with ropivacaine is commonly used in sub-umbilical pediatric surgery. However, increasing the dosage of ropivacaine has not been found to prolong the action significantly while complications will be serious. Ketamine as an additive to caudal administration had been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia, while the …
Gabapentin & Ketamine for Prevention/Treatment of Acute/Chronic Pain in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This is a study to establish a safe and feasible dose for prophylactic use of a combination of gabapentin and ketamine in head and neck cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation.
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 …
Determination of ED50 and ED95 With Clinical Efficacy of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Combined With Esketamine for Preoperative Sedation in Pediatric General Anesthesia
For pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia, poor anesthesia induction compliance often has adverse effects on individual behavior in the early postoperative period. Dexmedetomidine can reduce the cardiovascular responses and postoperative mental adverse reactions caused by esketamine anesthesia induction [6]. This study aims to explore the ED50 and ED95 and clinical …
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.
ESKetamine Low-dose vs Ketamine Low-dose for Severe Acute Pain in Emergency Units, Comparison of PsychodyslEptic Effects
Almost 30% of painful patients in emergency departments (ED) describe their pain as severe (i.e. a Verbal Numerical Rating Score VNRS ≥ 6 on a scale ranging from 0 to 10). The management of such severe pain needs to be rapid and safe, and for this purpose intravenous (IV) morphine …
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 …
