Ketamine has been FDA approved for quite a number of years for 2 day use in the USA but only when the patient is awake, ie not in a coma. There is no FDA approval for ketamine induced coma for CRPS treatment for any period of time in the USA.
That's why I asked the OP about the approval process because it would be a key piece of information in understanding how this coma treatment was able to take place.
