Ketamine Treatment for Neuropathic Pain St. Louis, MO

Now those suffering from neuropathic pain or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have a pain management option that does not require daily medication.

For years, physicians have struggled to treat neuropathic pain, defined as pain that comes from damage to nerves or abnormal patterns within the central and peripheral nervous systems. Analgesics, opioids, and other more traditional treatment options are often prescribed, but in many cases, these have little effect (and could have the potential to do more harm than good). However, a recent study from the National Institutes of Health showed that ketamine infusion therapy can help remedy chronic neuropathic pain for as much as 12 weeks after a patient's first treatment session. With regular maintenance injections, ketamine infusion therapy for chronic pain attacks both the psychological and physical causes of chronic neuropathic and complex regional pain.
