Clinical study which tested the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous subanesthetic dose of ketamine for the treatment of PTSD.
Greater reduction of PTSD symptoms following treatment with ketamine was evident in both crossover and first-period analyses, and remained significant after adjusting for baseline and 24-hour depressive symptom severity.
Ketamine was generally well tolerated without clinically significant persistent dissociative symptoms.
This study provides the first evidence for rapid reduction in symptom severity following ketamine infusion in patients with chronic PTSD.
