If traditional chronic pain treatments have not provided the results you were hoping for, ketamine therapy may be worth exploring as an alternative treatment option.
Bridgeway provides ketamine therapy for chronic pain in Indianapolis.
Could Ketamine Therapy Be Right for Your Chronic Pain?
- Failed Other Treatments:You have tried conventional, non-invasive, or first-line treatments without success.
- Specific Conditions:You suffer from complex pain conditions, such as CRPS, nerve damage (neuropathy), fibromyalgia, or chronic migraines.
- Goal of Reducing Reliance on Pain Medication:You are interested in exploring treatment options that may help reduce your reliance on opioid or other pain medications as part of a broader pain management plan.
- Accompanied by Mental Health Factors:Your chronic pain is accompanied by related mood disorders like depression
- Side Effects:
Short-term side effects may include dizziness, nausea, changes in perception or dissociation, sedation and increases in blood pressure or heart rate. Repeated exposure may carry additional risks, so treatment decisions and monitoring should be individualized.
- Not for Everyone:
- It is not a guaranteed solution, and its use should be part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary pain management plan.
- Research on IV ketamine for chronic pain is evolving, and the strength of evidence varies by condition. Consensus guidelines from pain-medicine and anesthesiology organizations found evidence supporting ketamine for some chronic-pain conditions, while noting that many studies were small and that the quality of evidence varies. 6
- For complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, more recent research has reported short-term reductions in pain after IV ketamine, while longer-term durability and the ability to predict an individual patient’s response remain uncertain.⁷

Important Treatment Information:
Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic.1 The use of IV ketamine for depression and chronic pain is off-label and is not an FDA-approved indication for ketamine injection. Treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Potential benefits, risks, alternatives and expected outcomes should be discussed with a qualified medical provider.
The current FDA prescribing information lists ketamine injection’s approved indications as anesthesia-related uses, not chronic-pain treatment.(FDA Access Data)
