The exac mechanism of how ketamine helps with migraines is not fully understood, but it is believed that it may work by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as glutamate and GABA, which are involved in the regulation of pain and mood.
Research has suggested that ketamine may have an impact on the complex neural network that contributes to the development of migraines, as well as preventing the development of central sensitization which is associated with chronic pain conditions like migraines.
It is also believed that ketamine has anti-inflammatory properties, which may also contribute to its effectiveness in treating migraines.
Ketamine has been shown to provide several benefits for individuals who suffer from migraines, including:
Rapid pain relief: Ketamine is known to provide rapid pain relief, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience severe and debilitating migraines.
Reduction in frequency and intensity of migraines: Regular ketamine treatments may help to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines over time.
Improved quality of life: By reducing the impact of migraines on daily life, ketamine infusion therapy can improve overall quality of life for individuals with this condition.
Non-invasive and non-pharmacologic: Unlike many other migraine treatments, ketamine infusion therapy is non-invasive and does not rely on the use of drugs or medications.
Potential to reduce the need for other medications: By reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines, ketamine infusion therapy may also help to reduce the need for other migraine medications, which can have side effects.
During a ketamine treatment for migraine, a patient will typically receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of the medication. The treatment is administered in our office and usually takes about 40 minutes to an hour.
Our patients can relax in a comfortable chair, and a small IV catheter will be inserted into their arm. The ketamine will be administered through the IV at a slow, controlled rate. The patient will be monitored throughout the treatment by the healthcare provider.
Patients may experience some dissociation during the treatment, which means they might feel detached from their surroundings, or they might experience changes in perception, such as feeling as if they are in a dreamlike state or experiencing changes in the way they perceive time, colors, or shapes. These side effects usually subside shortly after the infusion.
After treatment, the patient will be observed for a short period of time by our staff before being allowed to go home. It is advised that patients should not drive or operate heavy machinery for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
If you are tired of dealing with the constant pain and discomfort of migraines, ketamine infusion therapy may be the solution you have been looking for. With its proven ability to provide rapid pain relief, reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, and improve your overall quality of life.
Ketamine infusion therapy is a non-invasive and highly effective option for individuals who suffer from migraines. Don’t let migraines control your life any longer. Schedule a consultation today and discover the benefits of ketamine infusion therapy for migraines.
A migraine is a type of headache that is characterized by severe pain and other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light, noise, and smells. Migraines can last from several hours to several days and are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Some individuals also experience an aura before a migraine, which can include visual disturbances, tingling, or difficulty speaking.
The exact cause of migraines is unknown, but they are believed to be related to changes in the brain and the levels of certain chemicals. They are often triggered by factors such as stress, lack of sleep, and changes in the weather. Migraines can have a significant impact on daily life and can lead to decreased quality of life and increased risk of depression and anxiety.
The symptoms of a migraine can vary from person to person, but common symptoms include:
Severe headache: The headache is often described as a pulsing or throbbing pain on one side of the head.
Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of a migraine and can make the headache feel even more intense.
Sensitivity to light, sound, and smell: Individuals with migraines may experience sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, which can make the headache feel even more intense.
