Propofol-Enhanced Assessment of Ketamine for Chronic Pain and Depression : Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Trial of Ketamine Given During Propofol Sedation in Patients With Chronic Pain and Depression

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been in clinical use for more than 50 years. In addition to its well-known anesthetic and pain-relieving properties, ketamine has repeatedly been found to have fast-acting antidepressant effects in patients with depression. However, the mechanisms underlying ketamine's ability to treat chronic pain and depression are poorly understood. A most basic question regarding ketamine's therapeutic mechanism is still unresolved: do patients need to consciously experience ketamine's acute dissociative effects to receive lasting analgesic and antidepressant benefits? In this clinical trial, participants will receive either ketamine or a placebo when they are under sedation with propofol..
