ketamine and Pain, Intractable

ketamine has been researched along with Pain, Intractable in 99 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.

Pain, Intractable: Persistent pain that is refractory to some or all forms of treatment.

Trial Outcomes

Effect of Low-dose Ketamine (LDK) on Opioid Usage in the ED

Opioid usage for at least one but up to three prior patient visits in the last one year for each patient enrolled in the study was summarized, expressed as morphine equivalents in mg/kg/h, to account for different types of opioids used per patient preference, and then this was compared to the intervention group that received LDK. Percent change in opioid usage (expressed as morphine equivalents in mg/kg/h) is reported). (NCT03296345)
Timeframe: Up to one year prior and after LDK administration on day 1 of the study in the ED

Effect of Low-dose Ketamine on Discharge Rates From the ED

"Percent discharge from the ED for intervention group and for at least one but up to three visits prior to receipt of ketamine in the last one year, were assessed. Participants were assigned a 0 if discharged or 1 if not discharged." (NCT03296345)

Effect of Low-dose Ketamine on Pain Scores on Presentation to the ED

Patient pain scores at presentation for the enrolled encounters and for at least one but up to three visits prior to receipt of ketamine in the last one year, were assessed. At least one but up to three prior visits were averaged and compared to the intervention visit. Pain was assessed using the faces pain scale which consists of a series of line diagrams of faces with expressions of increasing distress. The score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst pain).

Patient pain scores at time of discharge from the ED/admission to the hospital for at least one but up to three visits prior to receipt of ketamine in the last one year, were assessed. At least one but up to three prior visits were averaged and compared to the intervention visit. Pain scores post receipt of ketamine are presented for the intervention group.

Study outcomes involve change in participants' pain as measured by a visual analog scale. The scale is a 10 inch line from 0 to 10 inches with 10 being the most pain and 0 being no pain. There are no units on the scale; it is just a straight line from no pain (0) to the worst pain (10). We assessed at o, 15, and 60 minutes but only scored the VAS at 60 minutes. (NCT02430818)

Would the Participant Would Consider Using the Drug Given to Them for Pain Relief in the Future

Patients will be assessed to determine whether the participant would consider using the drug given to them for pain relief in the future. It was measured on a likert scale from 1-5 with 1 being did not like and would not use the drug again to 5 being like and would definitely receive the medication again. There are no units. The numbers below are the total number of patients that completed this answer. This was only asked on patients that received medication as if they did not receive medication the answer would not make sense. The median value is the likert value on a scale of 1-5 with the standard deviation. (NCT02430818)

Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS)

The CY-BOCS is a semi-structured measure of OCD severity with excellent inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. It is validated in those starting at age 7 and used in studies up to age 20. The CYBOCS differs from the adult YBOCS only in its use of simpler language. The CY-BOCS consists of 10 items which are summed up to derive the total CY-BOCS score. The total score ranges from 0-40 with higher scores indicating greater severity of OCD symptoms. (NCT02422290)

Neurocognitive Effect

"Baseline neurocognitive testing will be done before study drug is given. Subjects will be reassessed for any changes in neurocognitive scores at end of dosing (week 2) and at three weeks off study drug (week 14). Significant changes were measured at week 14 compared to baseline. Week 2 was measured to inform future studies.~The neurocognitive scores are standardized scores with a mean of 100; low scores correlate with low neurocognitive function, while high scores correlate with high function. A significant change is defined as greater than or equal to 10% decrease in scores." (NCT01369680)
