There was moderate but short-lived response to electroconvulsive therapy, so she was considered for the ketamine infusion trial.
The ketamine was commenced at 15 mg/h (0.15 mg/kg/h) and titrated to 27.5 mg/h (0.27 mg/kg/h).
Based on this result, it was thought that a low-dose (subanesthetic) infusion of ketamine was worth a trial in patients who were suffering from treatment-resistant depression without other physical or psychiatric illness.
Approval for this trial was obtained from the hospital research and ethics committee.
Before and following each treatment with ketamine, at patient clinic visits, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Score (HAMD-17) were obtained.
The first two patients are described in detail: Patient A is a 39-year-old, 101 kg woman with an 18-month history of depression.
This recovery was not formally documented, as the primary concern was the treatment of the patient's pain.
Needless to say, it was not possible to quantify to what degree depression recovery was secondary to the patient's recovery from CRPS.
