A Proof-of-Concept Study of Subanesthetic Intravenous Ketamine Combined With Prolonged Exposure Therapy Among Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Overview
This paper presents pilot data regarding the feasibility of combining prolonged exposure therapy with repeated subanesthetic intravenous ketamine for veterans with PTSD. It addresses the context that up to 50% of participants in military and veteran trauma therapy trials may not achieve meaningful symptom improvement, suggesting adjunctive medications as a potential enhancement. The resource is intended for clinicians or researchers interested in this specific treatment combination.
