Ketamine Infusions for Chronic Pain
The main job of ketamine is to block the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. For those struggling with chronic pain, the NMDA receptor can become overactive, amplifying pain signals sent to the brain. When ketamine works to block the NMDA receptor, this process is disrupted and can reduce the brain's perception of pain. When used for Trigeminal Neuralgia, ketamine can improve quality of life by reducing pain intensity and frequency, and make talking and chewing easier.
