Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Plus Ketamine for Procedural Sedation
Orthopedic injuries comprise more than 10% of ED visits in children and 25 to 50% of children will sustain a fracture before age 16 years. Distal radius fractures account for 20-32% of fractures in children, making them the most common fracture type. Between 20 and 40% of extremity fractures in …
Ketamine for Post-operative Analgesia in Hemorrhoidectomy
This is a prospective, randomized study of ketamine versus no ketamine in approximately 100 patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy for Grade III or IV hemorrhoids. The participants will be blinded to which treatment arm they are assigned, because participants will be under anesthesia when the ketamine is administered. The investigators will know …
Ketamine + Magnesium for Chronic Cluster Headache (KETALGIA)
Chronic cluster headache (CCH) is a rare primary headache disorder, defined by episodic attacks that occur for more than one year with no remission period or with remission periods lasting < 3 months (ICHD-3 criteria). In certain cases, CCH patients become drug-resistant and continue to suffer almost daily attacks. Ketamine …
Efficacy of Preventive Ketamine on Postoperative Pain
Although bariatric surgery is mainly performed laparoscopically, analgesic optimization is still essential to reduce complications and to improve the patients' comfort. In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the intraoperative peritoneal instillation of bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 ml, 0.25%) was known to be safe and effective in reducing postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting. Furthermore, …
Predictors of Intravenous Ketamine Response in TRD
For patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a single low dose of intravenous (IV) ketamine can help relieve symptoms as quickly as 24 hours later. The main problem with IV ketamine for TRD is that the effect is short-lived, lasting only days to 1 or 2 weeks. Furthermore, IV ketamine is …

The study design will be a double blind, randomized, active-comparator trial with two study arms. Subjects randomized to Arm 1 (n=40) will receive individual psychotherapy sessions plus a 30 …
Understanding and Treating Suicidal Ideation With Ketamine
The goal of this clinical trial is to treat active suicidal ideation in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using ketamine and to understand suicidal ideation by examining biological mechanisms using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and psychological mechanisms through validated clinical scales and qualitative interviews. The main questions it aims …
Ketamine, SGB and Combination Treatment for TBI
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) with associated headache are amongst the most common injuries sustained by our deployed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in more recent conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This study aims to determine whether a procedural intervention …
Maintenance Ketamine Infusions for Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression
Growing evidence has supported rapid and robust antidepressant effects with subanesthetic doses of intravenous (IV) ketamine for treatment resistant depression (TRD). However, no completed or ongoing RCTs have evaluated the effects of repeated doses of IV ketamine for a homogenous sample of patients with treatment-resistant bipolar disorder depression (TRBD). The …
Oral Ketamine for Treatment of Vaso-Occlusive Pain
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the feasibility of oral ketamine for the treatment of painful sickle-cell crises in children and adolescents as a supplement to intravenous (IV) opioids. There is a need for improved non-opioid analgesia for patients experiencing sickle-cell crises in the hospital and …
