NCT ID NCT04861051

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study aims to understand how ketamine causes dissociative symptoms—feelings of detachment from oneself or reality—in people with epilepsy. Researchers will give ketamine to 20 adults staying in Stanford's epilepsy monitoring unit and measure their dissociative experiences using a standard questionnaire. The goal is purely to learn more about how these effects happen, not to treat epilepsy.
