Ketamine Augmentation of ECT in Treatment-Resistant Depression
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the additive effect of intravenous ketamine in combination with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD). The study aims to determine whether ketamine enhances the antidepressant efficacy of ECT and reduces associated cognitive side effects. …
The Nonirritating Concentrations of Midazolam, Ketamine, and Ondansetron
Perioperative anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening drug allergic reaction that can occur during anesthetic procedures. The purpose of this research is to determine the maximal nonirritating skin testing concentrations of midazolam, ketamine and ondansetron. These drugs are FDA approved and commonly used before, during and after surgical procedures.
Effect of Ketamine on Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials …
Imaging Neural Correlates of Ketamine Using PET/MR
The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled study is to investigate pharmacodynamic differences between racemic ketamine and esketamine using functional fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MR) Pilot study I: A pilot study with healthy controls will be performed in order to investigate pharmacokinetic behavior and acute behavioral effects of …
Low Dose Dexmedetomidine Versus Ketamine in Multiple Fracture Ribs
In our study, we assess the diaphragmatic function, pain quality and anti-inflammatory properties between low dose infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketamine in patients with multiple fracture ribs on conservative treatment.
Enhancing Week-long Psychological Treatment for PTSD With Ketamine
The purpose of this study is to test if the combination of ketamine, vs midazolam, with an intensive trauma-focused psychotherapy will be more effective in relieving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This week-long treatment has the potential to produce a significant therapeutic effect that otherwise would take months to occur. The …
Reducing Pain With Methadone and Ketamine in Liver Transplant
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using methadone and ketamine during an adult deceased donor liver transplant can help decrease pain after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: What impact does using methadone and ketamine during a deceased donor liver transplant have on …
Ketamine for Preventing Post-Spinal Hypotension in Orthopedic Surgery
This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial investigates the efficacy of a sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg IV) in preventing post-spinal hypotension in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia. The study compares ketamine with placebo (normal saline) in terms of blood pressure stability and incidence of hypotensive episodes …
Comparison of Intravenous Lidocaine vs Ketamine in Colorectal Surgery
Patients undergoing open colorectal surgery were randomly divided into two groups: Intravenous Lidocaine (IV-Lido) vs Intravenous Ketamine (IV-Keta). For the IV-Lido group, patients received a loading dose of Lidocaine than a continuous infusion over twenty-four hours. For the IV-Keta goup, patients received a loading dose of Ketamine than a continuous …
Comparison of the Hemodynamic Effects of Ketamine - Dexmedetomidine (Ketodex) Versus Propofol-ketamine Admixture (Ketofol) During Induction of Anesthesia in Elderly: A Randomized Comparative Study
To compare the hemodynamic effects of Ketamine-Dexmedetomidine admixture (Ketodex) versus propofol-ketamine admixture (Ketofol) during induction of anesthesia in elderly
