You might check out some teaching hospitals for Ketamine infusions. I
know before my daughter passed away last month we were looking into
having Ketamine infusions at the University of Utah. A study was done
and believe continuing through 2014. Around 18/23 patients had an
improvement in pain scores of 6.7/10. The study cites duration of
treatment varied dramatically. Initial infusions were 5 days times
4 hours each day with doses ranging from 10mg/hr to 80mg/hr. Study
says all were active in physical therapy during treatment period and all
patients were greater than six months from diagnoses at the time of
first infusion.

I personally, spoke to a staff member about cost. She said many
insurnace companies were paying. I asked for a ball park figure.
of the total cost. She said 5000.00 which is far less than costs I
had researched over the years. :hug:
