Sub-dissociative Ketamine for the Management of Acute Pediatric Pain
Completed
The proposed trial is a prospective, double blinded, randomized control trial with the primary aim of determining whether a single, sub-dissociative dose of ketamine will decrease the total narcotic requirements of pediatric patients requiring intravenous analgesia in an urban emergency department (ED) compared to a group of patients who receive morphine alone for pain management. Patients are randomized to receive either a single bolus of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) or a single bolus of morphine (0.05... Read More

Ketamine Anesthesia for Improvement of Depression in ECT
Completed
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to determine if patients receiving ketamine as a part of general anesthesia during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) rather than standard of care will have improvement in symptoms of depression after a course of ECT treatments. The investigators hypothesize that utilization of ketamine for induction of general anesthesia during ECT treatments will improve symptoms of depression better than standard care. This study is ONLY open to patie... Read More

A Comparison of Ketamine Infusion Versus Placebo in Opioid Tolerant and Opioid Naive Patients After Spinal Fusion
Completed
The aim of the proposed study is to examine the effectiveness of low dose postoperative ketamine infusion as an analgesic adjuvant to morphine pca in opioid tolerant and opioid naïve patients after major spine surgery. Primary endpoints of the study are to determine the effectiveness of postoperative ketamine infusion in for the reduction of postoperative pain and opioid requirements.

Ketamine Infusion for Acute Sickle Cell Crisis in the Emergency Department
Terminated
Pain associated with sickle cell disease is a common emergency department visit. It is also frequently associated with a high emergency department recidivism rate for pain control and admissions to the hospital. Opiates are considered the first line therapy for acute flares and to manage chronic pain. This often times leads to a stigma of being "opiate seekers" or "frequent fliers". With this study, we wish to explore whether adding ketamine to standard acute opiate therapy (morphine or dilaudid... Read More

The Prevention of Delirium and Complications Associated With Surgical Treatments Multi Center Clinical Trial
Completed
Delirium is a medical term or condition that includes a temporary inability to focus attention and to think clearly. Delirium occurs commonly (10% to 70%) in patients older than 60 undergoing large surgeries. The purpose of this study is to test rigorously whether a drug called ketamine can decrease the chance that patients will experience delirium after their surgery. The investigators are also testing whether ketamine decreases postoperative pain, postoperative opioid consumption, postoperativ... Read More

Physiological and Cognitive Biomarkers for Ketamine's Antidepressant Effects
Terminated
Anxious depression is a particularly difficult-to-treat subtype of depression. Patients with anxious depression do not respond as well to currently available antidepressant medications. Nevertheless, in previous studies, low dose IV ketamine, which rapidly decreases symptoms of depression within hours in many patients with "treatment-resistant" depression, has been associated with superior efficacy in those individuals with anxious compared with non-anxious depression. In order to understand thi... Read More

IN Dexmedetomidine for Procedural Sedation in Pediatric Closed Reductions for Distal Forearm Fractures
Unknown
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the sedative, and analgesic effects of intranasal (IN) Dexmedetomidine (DEX) in children presenting to a Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) who undergo conscious sedation for reduction of closed distal forearm fractures when compared to those receiving intravenous (IV) Ketamine. The secondary objective is to compare each sedation technique for safety and procedural outcomes.

Ketamine and Scopolamine Infusions for Treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder
Withdrawn
Ketamine infusions resulted in an acute reduction in global depression scores and in severity of suicidal ideation. Scopolamine infusions produced also a significant improvement in depression that was sustained over time. We therefore plan to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of open-label repeated intravenous administration of ketamine and scopolamine combined in this population of severely depressed, treatment-resistant patients. The results from this study could lead to the developmen... Read More
