How Does Ketamine Therapy Work to Relieve Chronic Pain?
Ketamine Therapy works to relieve Chronic Pain by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a key role in pain perception and neural communication. Unlike traditional pain medications that focus on blocking pain signals, ketamine enhances the brain's ability to form new neural connections, improving the way the nervous system processes pain. By stimulating NMDA receptors, ketamine helps reset the neural pathways involved in pain, reducing hypersensitivity and inflammation often seen in chronic pain conditions. This can result in a significant decrease in pain intensity and improve overall functionality.
In addition to its effects on the brain, Ketamine also has analgesic properties that work on a molecular level, offering relief from conditions such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Administered through intravenous infusions or injections, ketamine provides rapid relief, often within hours of treatment. This ability to work quickly and address the underlying causes of pain makes ketamine a promising option for individuals with chronic pain who have not responded to conventional treatments.
