PAINscape—Exploring patient experiences with ketamine for chronic neuropathic pain: A qualitative study

Although pain experiences differed among participants, all participants reported decreased pain with ketamine infusions. Addressing the stigma associated with ketamine infusions, further research around augmenting durability of ketamine, and providing a safe treatment environment can all improve ketamine's benefit for chronic neuropathic pain. Understanding the barriers and facilitators, as well as implementing participant suggestions, will not only help inform our ketamine program but can improve access to pain management and facilitate future research in this field.
