What this Trial Is About
Chronic pain often occurs alongside mood disorders and insomnia, which may improve with better pain relief. Researchers are studying adult patients with chronic pain who receive ketamine injections as part of their routine pain management. They are observing changes in pain levels, mood, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality using validated rating scales to understand the impact of ketamine treatment on these symptoms. Participants undergo ketamine injections for pain relief as part of their regular treatment. The study collects data before and after these injections, measuring pain using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, sleep with the Likert Sleep Scale, anxiety with the GAD-7 scale, and depression with the PHQ-9 questionnaire. Significant improvements are defined by specific changes in each scale's score. The data is analyzed statistically to assess meaningful changes. During the study, patients provide information on their age, psychiatric diagnoses, and scores related to pain, sleep, anxiety, and depression. Researchers use this information to evaluate the effectiveness of ketamine injections in improving both physical and mood-related symptoms. The main outcome measured is the change in pain score after 12 weeks of treatment. The study includes ongoing monitoring of these measures to evaluate treatment impact over time.
