ketamine and Migraine Disorders

ketamine has been researched along with Migraine Disorders in 12 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.

Migraine Disorders: A class of disabling primary headache disorders, characterized by recurrent unilateral pulsatile headaches. The two major subtypes are common migraine (without aura) and classic migraine (with aura or neurological symptoms). (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)

( Bos, L; Etchison, AR; Heitz, C; McAllister, KB; Mohammed, M; Park, B; Phan, AV; Ray, M, 2018)
"The available evidence from preclinical studies is helping to translate the role of ketamine in blocking spreading depolarizations to clinical practice, in the settings of migraine with aura, traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke."5.12Cortical spreading depolarization and ketamine: a short systematic review. ( Coelho, ACSDS; Figueiredo, EG; Rabelo, NN; Teixeira, MJ; Telles, JPM; Welling, LC, 2021)
"Subanesthetic ketamine infusion has been used for managing refractory headache in inpatient or outpatient infusion settings."4.31Real-world study of intranasal ketamine for use in patients with refractory chronic migraine: a retrospective analysis. ( Lauritsen, CG; Marmura, MJ; Natekar, A; Park, J; Viscusi, ER; Yuan, H, 2023)
"Migraine is a debilitating disorder affecting females more frequently than males."3.01The NMDA receptor antagonists memantine and ketamine as anti-migraine agents. ( Borończyk, A; Borończyk, M; Czarnacki, K; Paprocka, J; Podkowa, K, 2023)
"Many patients with refractory chronic migraine have experienced treatment failure with the Raskin protocol."2.72Beyond the Raskin Protocol: Ketamine, Lidocaine, and Other Therapies for Refractory Chronic Migraine. ( Lauritsen, C; Mojica, JJ; Nahas, SJ; Schwenk, ES, 2021)
"Patients with refractory chronic migraine have substantial disability and have failed many acute and preventive medications."1.62Ketamine for Refractory Chronic Migraine: An Observational Pilot Study and Metabolite Analysis. ( Denk, W; Katz, D; Lauritsen, C; Lovett, J; Moaddel, R; Schwenk, ES; Silberstein, SD; Torjman, MC; Wainer, IW, 2021)
"Ketamine has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative for abortive migraine therapy, likely secondary to N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonism."1.56Intranasal Ketamine for Abortive Migraine Therapy in Pediatric Patients: A Single-Center Review. ( Miller, E; Perry, MS; Ryals, B; Shandley, S; Turner, AL, 2020)
"Ketamine was administered using a standard protocol starting with a dose of 0."1.43Intravenous ketamine for subacute treatment of refractory chronic migraine: a case series. ( Ashina, S; Lauritsen, C; Lipton, RB; Mazuera, S, 2016)
