Where ketamine can (and can’t) help with chronic pain
There are some chronic pain conditions where ketamine can help provide relief, and some where ketamine may not be the best choice.
What does a stellate ganglion block treat?
The Stellate Ganglion Block – also called SGB, sympathetic nerve reset, dual sympathetic reset, or sympathetic block – targets the sympathetic nervous system. Often employed for pain relief, stellate ganglion blocks have increasingly been used for PTSD and other mental health conditions with fast-acting and impressive results.
What does TMS treat?
TMS leverages sophisticated equipment and targeted protocols to deliver great results for depression, anxiety, OCD, and other conditions. Growing fundamental and clinical data support more ways to help more people with a wider range of conditions and symptoms.
TMS can be an excellent option for many people, often providing good results even when other treatments may not have worked.
What does ketamine treat?
Ketamine was originally developed for anesthesia and analgesia. It has a long history as an extremely safe and effective drug and continues to be used widely for medical procedures and emergency medicine around the world.
A substantial and ever-growing body of research and clinical evidence has shown that ketamine is extraordinarily effective at treating depression, anxiety, and other conditions — with high rates of success, with strong and durable results, and for many people with treatment-resistant symptoms.
As research expands, our understanding of what ketamine may be used to treat continues to expand.
