Efecto de la Ketamina en el Procesamiento de Recompensas en Trastornos Depresivos: Una Revisión Sistemática de Estudios de Neuroimágenes (Faisal, et al, 2026)
"Esta revisión sistemática encontró que la administración de #ketamina está asociada con cambios neurofuncionales en los circuitos relacionados con la recompensa en adultos con Trastorno Depresivo Mayor (TDM) / Resistente al Tratamiento (TRD) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41804256/ #depresion #saludmental #terapiaconketamina
Although pain experiences differed among participants, all participants reported decreased pain with ketamine infusions. Addressing the stigma associated with ketamine infusions, further research around augmenting durability of ketamine, and providing a safe treatment environment can all improve ket …

Studies suggest treatment with these agents under supervision may lead to improvements in PTSD symptoms, with the medications being generally well tolerated. However, caution should be used when interpre …
In this cohort study of severe TBI patients, early ketamine administration was not associated with increased need for craniotomy/craniectomy and was associated with lower rates of mortality and brain death. These findings support the notion that early ketamine may be safe to use in the setting of TB …

IV ketamine was more effective than conventional therapy in reducing unexpected pain-related healthcare utilization for over 6 months in patients with chronic pain. Our study highlights the value of using real-world data and comparative effectiveness research to supplement clinical trials and enhanc …
Psychological stress not only undermines quality of life for people with cancer but also fuels tumor growth. Emerging evidence from the nascent field of cancer neuroscience suggests that adrenergic signaling from direct tumor-neuron interactions drives cancer progression, resistance to treatment, an …
