FEEL NEW AGAIN

A monumental shift in how you heal

Fibromyalgia is a persistent pain condition characterized by widespread discomfort and fatigue without a clear underlying cause. Symptoms often emerge following an injury or physical trauma but can also develop without an apparent trigger.

  • Widespread Pain: Many describe fibromyalgia pain as a persistent, dull ache lasting over three months. For it to be classified as widespread, the pain must affect both sides of the body, above and below the waist.
  • Fatigue: Chronic pain disrupts sleep, causing individuals to wake up feeling exhausted and unrefreshed.
  • Cognitive Issues: Known as “fibro fog,” fibromyalgia can make it difficult to focus and complete mental tasks.

Research indicates that chronic pain is largely linked to overactivity of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain. Ketamine provides relief by binding to NMDA receptors, preventing them from being overstimulated by glutamate—a neurotransmitter involved in pain signaling. This action helps reduce the intensity of chronic pain.

By interacting with these receptors, ketamine also increases glutamate levels in the space between neurons. This leads to activation of AMPA receptors, which trigger the release of molecules that enhance neuroplasticity. In essence, ketamine infusions help the brain reset and restore critical nerve connections, providing relief and improving overall well-being.

How Ketamine Supports Fibromyalgia Pain Relief?

Ketamine infusion therapy offers a promising approach for managing fibromyalgia pain, especially for those who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments.

As an NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine helps reset pain pathways and reduce central sensitization. Research and case studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms, providing new hope for individuals living with this challenging chronic condition.

For the best results, those with fibromyalgia should collaborate with experienced pain management specialists to create a tailored treatment plan. Fibromyalgia Ketamine infusion therapy can be an integral part of this plan, offering an alternative solution for long-term pain relief and an improved quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fibromyalgia is a long-term pain condition characterized by widespread discomfort and fatigue without a clear underlying cause. Symptoms often develop after an injury or physical trauma but can also arise without any apparent trigger.

  • Widespread Pain: Many individuals describe the pain as a persistent, dull ache lasting for at least three months. For it to be classified as widespread, it must occur on both sides of the body, affecting areas above and below the waist.
  • Fatigue: Due to chronic pain flare-ups, many people with fibromyalgia wake up feeling exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep.
  • Cognitive Difficulties: Often referred to as “fibro fog,” individuals may experience trouble focusing, remembering things, and completing mental tasks.

Originally known for its anesthetic properties, intravenous ketamine has been adapted for pain management, particularly for neuropathic and chronic pain conditions such as Ketamine Fibromyalgia Treatment.

At Neuroplasticity MD, every individual considering ketamine infusion therapy undergoes a detailed consultation to assess their medical history, symptoms, and determine whether ketamine is the right treatment option for them.

Ketamine helps relieve fibromyalgia pain by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which play a crucial role in pain transmission. This action can significantly reduce pain intensity. Additionally, ketamine influences other neurotransmitter systems, offering both pain-relieving and mood-enhancing benefits—especially important given the common overlap between fibromyalgia and depression.

Many individuals receiving ketamine infusions for fibromyalgia report a decrease in pain levels and an overall improvement in their quality of life.

Case studies and research indicate that intravenous ketamine infusions can provide symptom relief, with some patients experiencing lasting benefits even after the infusion sessions have ended. This has led to growing interest in ketamine as an option for those who have not found relief with conventional Ketamine Fibromyalgia Treatment.

Ketamine infusions for fibromyalgia are conducted at Neuroplasticity MD in a controlled medical environment and typically involve a series of sessions. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes to an hour, during which a carefully measured dose of ketamine is administered intravenously.

The total dosage is customized based on individual needs, taking into account factors such as body weight and symptom severity.

Many insurance companies, along with Medicare, typically exclude coverage for infusion ketamine therapy but do cover intranasal ketamine (Sparavato).
