    Study Notes

    Study Protocol Overview

    • Aims to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in patients with chronic neuropathic pain
    • Combines ketamine infusions with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training
    • Recruiting 30 patients with moderate-to-severe neuropathic pain from St. Michael's Hospital's chronic pain clinic

    Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

    • KAP combines ketamine infusions with psychotherapy to enhance analgesic effects and promote durable pain relief
    • Ketamine is a rapid-acting antidepressant and pain reliever that acts on NMDA receptors
    • Concurrent psychotherapy can enhance the durability of ketamine's analgesic effects

    Study Design

    • Participants will receive 12 weeks of treatment, including 3 ketamine infusions and 16 hours of phone-based CBT and mindfulness training
    • Primary outcome measures include pain intensity, physical functioning, and emotional functioning
    • Feasibility measures will assess recruitment rate, intervention adherence, patient withdrawal, and missing data

    Patient Population

    • Inclusion criteria: age 18 years and older, moderate-to-severe neuropathic pain, and a clinical diagnosis of neuropathic pain
    • Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, psychiatric disorders, substance use disorder, poorly managed hypertension, and severe liver dysfunction

    Outcome Measures

    • Pain intensity: measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale
    • Physical functioning: measured using the PROMIS Pain Interference – Short Form v1.1
    • Emotional functioning: measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale

    Feasibility and Future Directions

    • The study aims to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger definitive trial
    • Results will inform the design of a larger trial and address the need for multidisciplinary pain management in Canada
