Patients who present to the ED and who undergo minor bedside procedures that require local anesthesia will be divided into two groups: The first group will be treated with 0.7 mg/kg intranasal ketamine as well as standard local anesthesia for the procedure (treatment cohort). The second group will be treated with a volume-based dose of intranasal saline solution as well as sta... Read More

Ketamine for OUD and Comorbid Depression (OUDCD)
Terminated
Methadone is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Unfortunately, retention and adherence in methadone treatment is a major challenge. OUD patients frequently present with co-morbid depression (OUDCD), a risk factor for poor OUD treatment outcomes, overdose, and suicide. The last two decades have seen an exciting and transformational development in the treatment of depression - ketamine. As a safe, rapid-acting anti-depressant deliverable within the context of met...

Ketamine for Post-operative Analgesia in Hemorrhoidectomy
Recruiting
This is a prospective, randomized study of ketamine versus no ketamine in approximately 100 patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy for Grade III or IV hemorrhoids. The participants will be blinded to which treatment arm they are assigned, because participants will be under anesthesia when the ketamine is administered. The investigators will know whether the participant receives ketamine or not.

The CHECK Trial: A Comparison of Headache Treatment in the Emergency Department: Compazine Versus Ketamine
Terminated
Investigators are comparing Ketamine to prochlorperazinecompazine for benign headaches in the ED. Subjects will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups. Group 1 will receive standard treatment of prochlorperazinecompazine 10 mg IV along with diphenhydramine 25 mg IV. Group 2 (research arm) will receive Ketamine 0.3 mg/kg along with ondansetron 4 mg IV. Subjects will be seen at 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes post-intervention to obtain Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Headache severity, Nausea severity, Vomiting... Read More

Intravenous Ketamine Plus Neurocognitive Training for Depression
Completed
This study has two aims: 1) to characterize the effects of intravenous ketamine on neurocognitive markers in depressed patients; 2) to test the efficacy of a synergistic intervention for depression combining intravenous ketamine with neurocognitive training. Three of the primary outcomes listed (fMRI functional connectivity; Implicit Association Test; cognitive flexibility testing) pertain to Aim 1. For Aim 2, one primary clinical outcome (MADRS, a clinician-administered measure of depression se... Read More

A Retrospective Effectiveness Trial of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Adult Patients Coping With Mental Health
Completed
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a relatively new approach for the treatment of mental health issues, which involves the combination of ketamine, a dissociative anaesthetic with psychedelic properties, and psychotherapy to promote emotional wellbeing. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of KAP in adult patients coping with mental health. We predicted that clients would experience lasting reductions in psychological distress over time, such as depression, anxiety, and post tr... Read More

Effect of Ketamine on Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials being measured at each dose, to assess any impacts.

The Effects of Ketamine and Methadone on Postoperative Pain for Laminectomy
Terminated
The purpose of this research is to determine the pain-reducing effects of ketamine (Ketalar, an FDA-approved drug for anesthesia) and methadone (Dolophine, a long-acting narcotic) after lumbar laminectomy. The investigators would like to evaluate whether intraoperative use of both drugs may be able to provide better control of pain after lumbar surgery.

Facilitating Rapid Naltrexone Initiation
Active Not Recruiting
The incidence of opioid use disorders (OUDs) has increased to near-epidemic proportions. While maintenance with long-acting opioids such as methadone or buprenorphine represents an effective treatment strategy, it may be unacceptable to many individuals. As a result, long-acting injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX), an antagonist medication that blocks the effects of opioids for at least 4 weeks, is now indicated for relapse prevention following detoxification. This randomized, controlled trial aims t... Read More
