KETAMINE FOR MIGRAINES
Explore the option of ketamine for migraines and find relief, fast.
Searching for treatment options for migraine headaches? At Evansville Ketamine Center, we offer ketamine infusion therapy, which has shown remarkable results where other pain treatments have failed. Ketamine infusion therapy has been found to relieve the symptoms of migraine headaches, in some cases, within hours—oftentimes with fewer side effects and less risk than most other pain management options. Ketamine is not an opioid, and thus is without the side-effects and risk of addiction that come along with opiate painkillers. While every patient responds differently to ketamine treatments, an average of 75% of patients treated find relief, and many pain patients experience long-lasting relief…for up to 11-months at a time!

How Does Ketamine Work to Treat Migraines?
Ketamine acts on the NMDA receptors, an area that traditional migraine medication doesn’t reach. These receptors are responsible for processing pain in the brain. By blocking them, ketamine allows the brain to “reset” its pain pathways, which results in reduced pain intensity and frequency of the headache pain.
Chronic migraines are often a result of overactive pain processors. Ketamine calms the hyperactivity, allowing the brain to rest and balance itself back to normal. According to research at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, about 75% of patients who received ketamine infusions saw an improvement in their chronic migraines within days of the treatment.

FAQs ABOUT KETAMINE FOR MIGRAINES
If you have questions about ketamine for migraines, you’re not alone. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about ketamine therapy.
What causes migraines?
Migraines can be triggered by several factors, including neurological, genetic, and environmental. Brain chemistry involving serotonin and dopamine can activate the pain pathways and cause inflammation around blood vessels, which amplifies the pain. Lack of sleep, dehydration, and allergies can also trigger migraines.
How are migraines different than headaches?
Migraines and headaches both involve head pain; however, headaches tend to be milder to moderate and only last from 30 minutes to an hour, and can often be managed with over-the-counter medication. Migraines can be debilitating—causing nausea and sensitivity to light, sound, and smell. Migraines can last hours to days without relief from typical medication.
How quickly will I experience relief?
Migraines can be debilitating and keep you from living your life. Fortunately, many patients report improvements from their migraines within days of ketamine therapy, and some even experience relief within hours.
How long does relief last?
Results vary by patient, their previous symptoms, migraine intensity, genetics, and overall health. However, most people experience improvements for weeks or even months, while others may require maintenance infusions to achieve lasting results.
How often can I receive ketamine treatments?
How often you will need ketamine therapy depends on your condition and how you respond to the treatment. Many patients only need a few sessions, while others need more frequent treatments to maintain the benefits. With infusion therapy, most patients need 2 to 3 infusions over 2-3 weeks to experience lasting results from chronic migraines.
IS KETAMINE TREATMENT OR IV VITAMIN THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Ketamine is an anesthetic and safest when given by an anesthesia provider. We work in conjunction with your mental health provider to provide the all-around safest, most effective treatment.
