WHAT IS KETAMINE?
Ketamine has been around since the 60s. It gained FDA approval for medical use as an anesthetic in the 70s. Today, it is one of the most studied drugs. Thanks to years of research and clinical studies, doctors are understanding better how Ketamine benefits the mind and body. This drug shows a promising positive influence in the mental health world. Much of the research shows Ketamine improves mental wellness by rewiring the brain.
HOW DOES KETAMINE WORK?
Ketamine works differently from traditional medications. Research done in Yale Psychiatry labs shows Ketamine triggers Glutamate production in the brain. Glutamate is a powerful neurotransmitter. This complex process is responsible for creating new neural connections. In a sense, this is the key to allowing the brain to reconnect and rewire itself successfully. After Ketamine use, the mind becomes adaptable and releases trauma.
Dr. John Krystal of Yale Psychiatry says, “with most medications, like Valium, the anti-anxiety effect you get only lasts when it is in your system. When the Valium goes away, you can get rebound anxiety.” Dr. Krystal further explains how Ketamine is a completely different drug than traditional medications due to the profound effects it has on the brain. Specifically, Ketamine triggers reactions in the cortex allowing the brain connections to regrow.
KETAMINE TREATMENTS IN CLINICAL TRIALS
Clinical trials seek to know and understand how Ketamine affects the brain and helps people overcome mental struggles like depression. For example, in a clinical trial published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, 41 people with treatment-resistant depression completed a single-site randomized, double-blind crossover comparison of a single Ketamine infusion and Midazolam (an active placebo control.)
After a relapse of depressive symptoms, the participants received a course of six open-label ketamine infusions administered thrice weekly over two weeks.
The trial results prove that “Compared with midazolam, a single ketamine infusion elicited a significantly greater reduction in depressive symptoms at the primary efficacy endpoint (24 hours post-infusion).” Furthermore, the trial also showed that “Repeated ketamine infusions have cumulative and sustained antidepressant effects. Reductions in depressive symptoms were maintained among responders through once-weekly infusions.”
