IV ketamine infusions have been studied for more than two decades as a treatment for mood disorders and chronic pain. At our Chapel Hill clinic, each infusion is overseen by physician anesthesiologists with extensive experience in ketamine administration. Patients are closely monitored in private rooms with individualized dosing tailored to their history and response.
IV ketamine is commonly considered for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, migraines, neuropathic pain, and certain chronic pain conditions. Many patients report improvement after the first few infusions, and treatment plans are always adapted to maximize benefit and minimize side effects.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It is administered only in certified clinics like Ketamine Wellness Institute of Chapel Hill, where patients are monitored during treatment and observed afterward for safety.
SPRAVATO® offers an option for patients who have not responded to standard antidepressants and may be covered by insurance. Our team provides full guidance on eligibility, scheduling, and coordination with your current prescriber or therapist.
