ketamine and Musculoskeletal Pain

ketamine has been researched along with Musculoskeletal Pain in 4 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.

Musculoskeletal Pain: Discomfort stemming from muscles, LIGAMENTS, tendons, and bones.

Trial Outcomes

Reduction in Pain Score at 60 Minutes

Reduction of pain scores on numeric rating pain scale (NRS) at 60 minutes mark form the baseline. The NRS is an 11 item Likert Scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (very severe pain) with 5 indicating moderate pain. (NCT04860804)
Timeframe: 60 minutes

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)

OK Group4.01

Adverse Events at 30 Minutes

The patient were asked at 30 minutes post administration of analgesia if they experienced any side effects like nausea, vomiting, headache etc. (NCT02388321)
Timeframe: 30 minutes

Pain Score at 30 Minutes

An 11 point Likert Visual Analog Scale with 0 being no pain, 5 being moderate pain and 10 being very severe pain was verbally administered to the patient at 30 minutes post administration of analgesia. (NCT02388321)
