Ketamine Treatments For Fibromyalgia in Dallas
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain and tenderness (sensitivity to touch). The pain and tenderness tend to come and go and move about the body. Other symptoms include fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. The diagnosis can be made with a careful examination. Fibromyalgia is most common in women, though it can occur in men. It most often starts in middle adulthood but can occur in the teen years and in old age. You are at higher risk for fibromyalgia if you have a rheumatic disease (health problem that affects the joints, muscles and bones). These include osteoarthritis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis. Fibromyalgia does not damage the joints or muscles.

Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that’s been widely used worldwide for over fifty years. In the year 2000 medical researchers started studying ketamine for the treatment of depression. Ketamine proved effective, especially for patients resistant to treatments with typical antidepressants. Researchers discovered that Ketamine improves mood faster than traditional antidepressant drugs and works for some individuals who suffer from Fibromyalgia. While Ketamine isn’t considered a first-line therapy for chronic pain, depression, or any other mental health disorder, it can be used off-label to treat severe cases of chronic pain that haven’t responded to conventional medications or therapies.
