First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether two common drugs, memantine and dextromethorphan, can help maintain or improve pain relief after a ketamine treatment in people with long-term nerve pain. Seven adults with chronic neuropathic pain who had already responded to ketamine took part. The goal was to find a practical way to keep pain under control after ketamine's effects wear off.
