The 3-day / 4-hour high-dose ketamine treatments are performed on an outpatient basis at the Institute’s Ambulatory Surgical Center. The patient has the option of having the IV left in place all 3 days.

Videos and pain thresholds document the effectiveness of the treatment. Patients are provided this outcome material for their record. The baseline video is performed on a Monday with the post-treatment video performed on the following Friday. Pain thresholds are performed before and after each infusion. Families generally stay in Tampa for one week for the treatment.
