ketamine and Altered Level of Consciousness

ketamine has been researched along with Altered Level of Consciousness in 9 studies

Ketamine: A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors.
ketamine : A member of the class of cyclohexanones in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 2-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a methylamino group.

Trial Outcomes

Peak Itch Intensity Between the Vehicle and Active Treatments (Individual and KeAmLi-combo).

"Peak itch intensity between the vehicle and 4 other active treatments (individual ketamine, amitriptyline, or lidocaine, and KeAmLi-combo). Itch intensity was measured on a 100mm scale visual analog scale for 10 minutes. 0 was weighted with no itch and 100 was weighted with most itch imaginable." (NCT03096444)
Timeframe: 10 minutes

Topical KeAmLi Combo62.7

Topical Amitriptyline69.2

Mechanical Thresholds (Mechanical Detection and Pain).

Assess mechanical detection and pain thresholds using von Frey filaments stimulators (measured in force mN) to calculate the final threshold as the geometric mean of five series of ascending and descending stimuli. (NCT03096444)

Thermal Threshold Detection (Warmth and Heat Pain)

Two standardized quantitative sensory tests are performed to measure warmth detection threshold (assesses the threshold of which warmth sensation is first detected) and heat pain threshold (assesses the threshold at which heat pain sensation is first detected). Measured in change in celsius. (NCT03096444)
