The American Migraine Foundation estimates that around 39 million Americans are affected by migraines. For those with treatment-resistant forms of the neurological disease, the symptoms can have a significant impact on their ability to participate in day-to-day activities. Ketamine therapy at Interventional Orthopedics of Washington seeks to treat the condition at its source by targeting the neural pathways that manifest as migraines.

“Ketamine is a Schedule III medication that has long been used safely for surgical anesthesia and procedural analgesia and now may also be effective for the treatment of depression, anxiety, chronic pain, chronic headaches, OCD, PTSD, and other psychiatric diagnoses”, a spokesperson for the practice explained.

Subanesthetic doses of the therapeutic drug inhibit the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, resulting in analgesic and antidepressant effects. According to Healthline, research conducted at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia showed promising results in treating migraine sufferers for whom traditional treatment methods had proven ineffective.

Before accepting them into a therapy program, Dr. Silva and his team of licensed practitioners will evaluate each patient’s medical and psychiatric history to determine whether they are eligible for the treatment. Once approved, they will build a custom therapy plan.

Depending on which method of administration is chosen, the dissociative effects can last between 1 and 3 hours. These effects can be cumulative, generating sustained relief from migraines and other neurological disorders with continued use.
