Complicating but the never mentioned RSD. The talked about Cronic Pain.

They didn't mention CRPS, just "nerve pain" to the best of my recollection. His boss talks briefly about Germany and how they put patients into a Ketamine coma for nerve pain, all very vague, vague enough that I wondered if it showed a blatant lack in research, or if CRPS really is taboo. No they don't put patients into a Ketamine coma for something as generic as "nerve pain", only for CRPS, a particular condition!
