Low Dose Ketamine (LDK) Versus Morphine for Acute Pain Control in the Emergency Department
Completed
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of intravenous low dose ketamine (LDK) to the industry standard of morphine (MOR) in regards to controlling acute pain in the emergency department. Both LDK and morphine have side effects. The amount and character of these side effects will be compared. Additionally, the degree of sedation or agitation will be specifically measured. The aim of this current study is to make this comparison and shift the evidence for LDK use fro... Read More

The PATHFINDER Study: A Feasibility Trial
Completed
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether a rational strategy of EEG guided multimodal general anesthesia using target specific sedative and analgesics could result in enhanced recovery after anesthesia and surgery, decrease in postoperative delirium, and decrease in long term postoperative cognitive dysfunction up to 6 months following cardiac surgery.

The Role of HNKs in the Antidepressant Effect of Ketamine
Terminated
The objective of the proposed study is to examine the relationship between serum concentrations of HNK and changes in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Profile of Mood States (POMS), as well as glutamatergic/GABAergic response. To achieve these aims the investigators propose a double-blind, uncontrolled (no placebo, no healthy control subjects) study with several different doses of ketamine. The investigators will conduct MRI scans to measure G... Read More

Biomarkers of Response to Ketamine in Depression: MRI and Blood Assays Before and After Open Label Intranasal Ketamine
Completed
This pilot study aims to identify predictors of response to intranasal ketamine treatment in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Participants will give a sample of blood and undergo magnetic resonance imaging before and after a single intranasal ketamine treatment. Participants will subsequently receive a second intranasal ketamine treatment.

Patient Satisfaction With Subdissociative Dose Ketamine Versus Morphine for Emergency Department Pain Control
Completed
The proposed research will be a single blinded (patient) randomized controlled prospective trial of adult patients receiving treatment for moderate to severe abdominal pain to test the hypothesis that patient satisfaction with pain control with Ketamine will be comparable to patient satisfaction with pain control using morphine when treating abdominal pain.

Ketamine Infusion for Comorbid PTSD and Chronic Pain
Completed
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of low dose IV ketamine infusion in the treatment of patients with PTSD and comorbid chronic pain. Hypothesis: A single ketamine infusion should be associated with significantly greater reduction in core PTSD symptom levels after the treatment and such an effect is not only due to its analgesic properties but also through unknown mechanism of action that maybe related to NMDA/AMPA receptor modulation.

Anesthetic Techniques in EP Patients
Terminated
The purpose of this study is to compare different combinations of anesthetic drugs (cause loss of sensation) in terms of effectiveness, adverse effects, pain relief, and patient comfort for cardiac electrophysiology procedures. In addition, the investigators are studying the different anesthetic combinations to determine the best approach in terms of identification and treatment of arrhythmias.
