Researchers have found that administering ketamine intravenously is the most effective delivery method. As an infusion, the solution is 100% biologically available allowing for the greatest chance of a successful treatment. Some clinics offer ketamine intranasally, intramuscularly, orally, or sublingually, however these methods limit the bioavailability of the ketamine, making them less predictable and less effective.

As a chronic pain solution, up to 70% of patients experience long lasting relief. While we can’t promise ketamine will work for you, we can say that the odds are in your favor. Plus, you’ll know whether ketamine is an effective chronic pain treatment within 1-2 infusions. If you find the treatments ineffective, you can discontinue your treatment program and seek an alternative solution.

Numerous studies have found ketamine infusions to be most effective when they are administered serially over a two week period. We recommend a set of 4-6 infusions initially, followed by occasional maintenance infusions as needed. For some, maintenance infusions will only be needed a few times per year, while others may need more frequent infusions. Some patients have experienced relief for more than 11-months after an initial series of infusions!
