Sleeping through the cure? sedation study tests Ketamine's secret power
NCT ID NCT06317636
Summary
This study is testing whether a single dose of ketamine works better than a placebo (saltwater) for reducing chronic pain and depression. The key twist is that participants are sedated and asleep when they receive the infusion, so they won't consciously feel its effects. Researchers want to see if the drug's benefits work even when the patient doesn't experience them awake. About 40 adults with both chronic pain and depression will participate.
