ketamine and Clerambault Syndrome

ketamine has been researched along with Clerambault Syndrome in 6 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 Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change in Scale for Suicidal Ideation

Change in suicidal ideation in depressed patients with moderate to severe suicidal thoughts from the pre-infusion baseline to 24 hours after the infusion with ketamine or midazolam, a sedative not known to reduce suicidal ideation, measured with Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation - clinician rated version. This scale has 19 items scaled 0 (least severe) to 2 (most severe) and a potential score ranging from 0 to 38, with higher score indicating greater severity. (NCT01700829)
Timeframe: Day 1 (24 hours) post-treatment

Neuropsychological Effects

The average Z-scores reported below are the average of the Z-scores for all tests administered. The Z-scores for each test were based on published normative data and normative data available in our laboratory. The population mean for a Z-score is zero, with a SD of 1, thus scores below zero would indicate performance below the population norm; a score close to zero indicates performance close to the population norm (or a normalizing of performance). (NCT01700829)
Timeframe: Baseline and Day 1

Saliva Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR).

"On the mornings of an infusion day and on post-treatment day1, participants used salivettes (Sarstedt AG & Co.) to provide saliva samples upon awakening (Cort1) and 30 minutes later (Cort2) to measure cortisol awakening response (CAR) = (Cort2 - Cort1).~Differences between the midazolam and ketamine groups were tested using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model of the change in CAR from baseline to day1, with treatment group and baseline measurement of the outcome variable as predictors.~Range from 0.1 to 12.5 ng/ml and lower means less stress response, higher means greater stress response." (NCT01700829)
Timeframe: Cort2 - Cort1 = (Day 1 30-mins post-awakening cortisol) - (Day 1 awakening cortisol)
