Ketamine and methadone

The NMDA antagonists that have currently been tested include ketamine, methadone, memantine, amantadine, and dextromethorphan. The clinical trials so far have demonstrated the value of ketamine and methadone in reduction of neuropathic pain and opioid-resistant pain. However, CNS adverse effects are a concern, especially with ketamine.

This was not just another ketamine-opioid trial. Spine surgery patients receiving ketamine plus 0.2 mg/kg methadone had less pain and used less opioid than those receiving 0.2 mg/kg methadone alone, an effect different than when combining ketamine with other opioids. Such methadone boosting with ketamine may be clinically useful.

A ketamine regimen is superior to methadone, or ketamine combined with methadone, in alleviating neuropathic pain and associated sensory

Drugs appropriate for burn treatment include ketamine, fentanyl, morphine, methadone, hydrocodone, gabapentin, and lorazepam. Ketamine, a

In addition, there are multiple studies which suggest that ketamine significantly improves methadone analgesia to a greater extent than morphine analgesia. 7 Therefore, based on in vitro data and clinical synergy between methadone and ketamine, it is very unlikely that methadone inhibition of NMDA receptors plays a role in analgesia. Therefore

Methadone combined ketamine (methadone/ketamine) is more effective than methadone or ketamine alone in reducing neuropathic pain.
