Eine neue Studie hat festgestellt, dass kleine Mengen an flüssigem Ketamin, das in einer klinischen Umgebung verabreicht wurde, die Symptome einer posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung mit weniger Nebenwirkungen signifikant reduzieren kann.

  1. The study by researchers from the new National PTSD Research Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast, is the first open-label clinical trial to explore the feasibility, safety and tolerability of low-dose oral ketamine for PTSD treatment.

    Ketamine – a short-acting anaesthetic medication – is being tested as a fast-acting treatment for PTSD and depression. However, this off-label use is usually delivered through injections or infusions which need to be administered in a hospital.

    In the UniSC study, 73 percent of participants reported that their PTSD symptoms had reduced by more than half, one week after finishing the oral ketamine treatment, which involved one ketamine drink each week for six weeks. One month after receiving their last dose, 59 percent of participants, many with PTSD their entire adult lives, said their symptoms remained less than half what they were when they started the trial.

    Senior investigator Professor Dan Hermens said the finding suggested oral ketamine was potentially a more accessible, affordable option for PTSD patients, with a lower chance of adverse reactions than intravenous (IV) ketamine.

    “Despite extensive studies on IV ketamine infusions, there are gaps in understanding the most effective dosage levels and the best way to administer the drug as a treatment,” Professor Hermens said.

    “Our study found oral ketamine – administered in small amounts to study participants once a week as a drink in a clinical setting – is a safe, well-tolerated form of therapy that could be integrated into ongoing treatment programs of PTSD patients,” he said.

  2. Does it work on people with PTSD from being drugged with ketamine at Diddy parties?
