Recruiting studies
- NCT06994559Recruiting
Music with ketamine for chronic pain
This study tests if listening to music during ketamine infusions helps reduce chronic pain better than ketamine alone. It is for people already getting ketamine infusions for non-cancer pain.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07045870Recruiting
Pain relief methods after thyroid surgery
This study compares different ways to manage pain after thyroid removal surgery. It aims to find which method works best for recovery.
SohagAges 18–75 - NCT07193901RecruitingPhase 2
Nasal spray for depression with suicidal thoughts
This trial tests an experimental nasal spray for people with major depression who are currently having suicidal thoughts. It aims to see if the spray can quickly reduce depression and suicidal feelings.
BeijingAges 18–64 - NCT07222007Recruiting
Induction agent choice and survival in ICU patients
This study looks at how the type of medicine used to start sedation in the surgical ICU affects early survival and recovery. It may help doctors choose safer options for critically ill patients.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07230171Recruiting
Short-term S-ketamine for fibromyalgia pain relief
This trial tests if low-dose S-ketamine, given as a short intravenous infusion, can safely improve fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms for people who haven't gotten enough relief from non-drug treatments. S-ketamine is a fast-acting medicine that blocks pain signals and may help reset how the brain processes pain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT02543983RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan and ketamine study for suicidal thoughts
This trial studies how ketamine affects the brain in people dealing with suicidal thoughts or an active suicide crisis. It uses questionnaires, consent testing, and brain imaging to look for biological changes that may relate to symptom improvement.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT07443254RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IR-led deep sedation study for image-guided procedures
This study tests if a radiologist can safely give deep sedation medicine (ketamine) for certain procedures instead of general anesthesia. It might help you avoid general anesthesia while still being comfortable.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07557576Recruiting
Pain management approaches for children having cleft surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (with and without opioid painkillers) for children undergoing cleft lip or palate surgery. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain after surgery and reduces agitation as the child wakes up.
ZagrebAges 3 months–7 years - NCT07640243Recruiting
Sedation Methods for Bile Duct Drainage Procedures
This study compares different sedation (sleep) methods used during a procedure to drain blocked bile ducts. Researchers want to see which sedation approach gives patients the best experience and fastest recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06739460Enrolling by invitation
Comparing pain relief: ketamine vs magnesium for hysteroscopy
This study compares two different sedatives, ketamine and magnesium, to see which provides better pain relief for women having a hysteroscopy (a procedure to examine the uterus). It might help you if you are having this procedure and want to be more comfortable during sedation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Ketamine?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 recruiting studies that include Ketamine, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Ketamine trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Ketamine an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Ketamine or a specific trial is right for you.
