This study follows people receiving ketamine infusions (a medication given through an IV) for chronic pain over time. Researchers want to understand how well ketamine works and how it affects patients' daily lives.
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.
This trial tests if ketamine combined with talk therapy helps people with both chronic pain and PTSD. Participants receive ketamine through an IV in group therapy sessions over several weeks, with the goal of reducing pain and PTSD symptoms.
This trial tests if ketamine can help people with long-term health issues. It aims to find new treatments for chronic conditions that haven't responded well to other therapies.
This trial tests a ketamine protocol you can use at home. It may help if you have a long-term health condition.
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording) to understand how chronic pain affects the brain in people with spinal cord injury. It may help doctors tailor pain treatments in the future.
