PCORI Comparative Effectiveness Study-Esketamine (Spravato) vs. Ketamine-Equivalence Study
The purpose of this study is to compare the relative effectiveness, acceptability, and side effects of ketamine delivered through an IV (a drip into the arm) which is not currently FDA approved for use in the treatment of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and Esketamine (Spravato®), taken as a nasal spray which …
Music as an Adjunct to Ketamine Therapy for Chronic Pain
Intravenous (IV) ketamine is a treatment option for patients with chronic pain that does not respond to standard therapies, primarily working by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain. Beyond pain relief, ketamine can produce dissociative sensations, classifying it as an atypical psychedelic or mind-altering drug, and may enable patients to …
Coaching as an Adjunct to Ketamine Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression
This study is being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to explore whether adding psychedelic coaching can enhance the effects of ketamine or esketamine maintenance treatment in individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The investigators are currently enrolling participants who are receiving ongoing maintenance intravenous (IV) ketamine or intranasal esketamine (Spravato) …
Pilot Study: Establishing Glutamatergic Changes in Rapid Antidepressant Effects of Ketamine
In the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), ketamine can produce rapid but short-lasting improvements in mood. In order to develop a new generation of treatments with rapid and sustained efficacy, a better understanding of the mechanism of action is urgently needed. One candidate mechanism is the modulation of synaptic …
Ketamine, SGB and Combination Treatment for TBI-associated Headache or PTSD
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 …
Nebulized Dexmedetomidine Combined With Ketamine Versus Nebulized Dexmedetomidine for Cleft Palate
To compare the efficacy of the pre-operative nebulization of a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine versus nebulization of dexmedetomidine alone for sedation and prevention of emergence delirium in children undergoing cleft palate repair surgeries.
Ketamine Sedation As Neuroprotective Agent Following Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
OHCA is a critical medical emergency with significant mortality and morbidity primarily due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Despite advances in resuscitation techniques, the neurological outcomes for survivors remain poor. Current post-resuscitation practices lack specific neuroprotective strategies. Ketamine, an N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has shown potential neuroprotective properties in preclinical …
A Study of Ketamine Infusions to Treat Clinically-depressed ICU Patients
The purpose of this research is to study the effects of intravenous ketamine infusions for the treatment of patients with depressive symptoms in intensive care unit (ICU).
Psilocybin or Ketamine for Alcohol Use Disorder: An Active Comparator Trial
This study will collect data that measures the effects of a psychedelic intervention on patients struggling with alcohol use disorder (AUD). 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 …
Effect of Subanaesthetic Dose of Ketamine on Depth of Anaesthesia Consistency
General Anaesthesia (GA) is a medical state of controlled unconsciousness that inhibits two dimensions of consciousness: the content and the level of consciousness. This state is achieved using various anaesthetic agents, with propofol being one of the most commonly used intravenous anaesthetics. Propofol is a gamma amino butyric acid (GABAA) …
