Ketamine Therapy
Treatment for major depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant depression, suicidal ideation, bipolar, anxiety, unresolved emotional trauma, PTSD, OCD, fibromyalgia, chronic regional pain syndrome, chronic neuropathic pain, migraine headaches, traumatic brain injury, post-herpetic neuralgia, addiction, end-of-life distress, and more.
Ketamine therapy is the first available of many exciting breakthrough therapies for the treatment of a variety of conditions such as those listed above. The physiologic effects of ketamine on the brain result in an increase in neuroplasticity, promoting brain growth through new neural connections. This effect has been described as providing a fresh snow to fill in the ruts of mental illness, enabling new mental pathways to be forged. In addition to the physical changes in the brain, the psychedelic experience occasioned by ketamine gives the individual an immense sense of awe, allowing them to feel a deep connection with others and the universe as a whole. This ketamine-occasioned mystical experience is what we mean when we refer to consciousness expansion and this experience has been shown to be a crucial part of the therapeutic effects of ketamine. The vast majority of individuals rate this as one of the most important experiences of their lives and report gaining a new perspective of their own life, giving them a new way to see themselves without fear, pain, and judgement. We are proud to be on the forefront of societal progress bringing this breakthrough therapy to those who need it most.
A Brief History of Ketamine
1959-1962
The search for a safe sedative agent led to Calvin Steven's discovery and synthesis of ketamine at Parke Davis in 1962.
1966-1970
1970
1980
1990
2000
2006-2019
The first clinical trial of ketamine in humans (1966) was published showing ketamine is a safe anesthetic, and ketamine became a widely-used battlefield anesthetic in the Vietnam War (1970).
Ketamine is FDA approved for use by humans as an anesthetic.
After being marketed as a human anesthetic, ketamine became a popular club drug. To this day, ketamine is abused as a street drug.
Research into ketamine as an antidepressant began.
The West Haven VA Medical Center published a study which demonstrated ketamine's significant rapid improvement of depressive symptoms. This study was limited to only seven subjects, but still showed great promise in the antidepressant effects of ketamine.
In 2006, a group of former NIMH researchers filed a patent for intranasal administration of ketamine (esketamine) for the treatment of depression. Johnson & Johnson carried out the first clinical trial in depression with esketamine, and the study was published in 2016. The intranasal esketamine was then marketed under the name Spravato. Finally, in March 2019, the FDA approved the use of Sprovato for the treatment of depression.
