Ketamine infusion therapy:
Ketamine infusion therapy primarily deals with the treatment of psychiatric conditions, as well as the treatment of chronic pain conditions.
It is a versatile mode of treatment that offers hope to those with suicidal intent, resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as pain conditions like chronic migraines, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain.
How it works:
Ketamine infusion therapy involves the administration of ketamine intravenously into a patient’s veins via controlled methods over a certain time period. This is monitored by a doctor throughout the infusion.
The infusion usually lasts around 45 minutes. The Patient will experience a degree of distortion of some of the five senses, and occasionally might relive the experience of previously unprocessed memories, stories, or feelings.
This resurgence of previously unprocessed memories or feelings allows patients an opportunity to process their emotions and thereby alleviate some of the mental stress that may be contributing to their psychiatric problems.
