Is Ketamine the Best Treatment for your Patients with CRPS today?
How do you know?
Join other physicians and nurses on October 22, 2016 in Chicago for a day-long discussion of Ketamine Treatment for CRPS: The State of the Art and the Science to hear and debate the latest evidence and options for future research on this hypothetical life-altering therapy. We will review literature on outcomes, discuss three current protocols and adverse events profiles, identify other indications for ketamine infusions, and talk about battlefield use and the potential for abuse.
Physicians and nurses in the chronic pain field know how difficult chronic, refractory complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can be to treat. More than 150 years since it was initially identified, we are still looking for effective treatments for this horribly painful condition. In the last few years, pain management physicians have begun using IV ketamine to treat people with CRPS. Although some studies show promising results, protocols vary widely and safety and efficacy are unproven. In fact, there are 18 peer-reviewed journal articles in PubMed on using IV Ketamine for CRPS and the outcomes are inconclusive. The only thing we know for sure is that we need more studies, more research, and targeted discussions. People who suffer from CRPS are depending on it.
