Ketamine shows promise for new Moms' pain and mood after surgery

NCT ID NCT05907213

Summary

This small, early study aimed to find a safe and tolerable dose of ketamine for women experiencing pain and depression after cesarean delivery. Researchers tested different infusion doses on 12 postpartum women to see which caused the fewest unacceptable side effects like dizziness or nausea. They identified a specific dose that was well-tolerated, hoping it could help manage both physical pain and low mood after childbirth.
