Ketamine therapy for neuropathic (nerve) pain during and after cancer treatment

Neuropathic pain occurs due to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system, which occurs in metabolic and inflammatory disorders (for example, herpesvirus etiology), trauma and postoperative complications.

The practical experience of one of the world's leading cancer centers, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (Memorial Sloan Kettering), has confirmed that ketamine infusion slows down the pain-sensitive nerves that send pain messages to the brain. This can reduce pain and bring relief. Treatment can relieve pain in the next few days or weeks.

Your doctor may recommend ketamine infusion therapy if:

  • You have side effects from taking other painkillers;
  • Taking general painkillers is not enough to relieve pain;
  • You are experiencing pain that is difficult to bear.

Ketamine infusion therapy has a quick effect. You will probably feel better immediately.
