Ketamine is used to treat a variety of chronic pain syndromes, especially those with a neuropathic component. Neuropathic pain is a shooting, burning sensation that is usually caused by nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system.
Antidepressant and anti-convulsive drugs are usually prescribed for the treatment of neuropathic pain and often do not provide a great deal of relief. Progressive symptoms from neuropathic pain also may lead to disabilities to co-morbid mood disorders.
