IV Ketamine Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that has shown promising results in helping patients manage depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. At Nao Medical, we are proud to offer this innovative treatment option to our patients in NYC.

What is IV Ketamine Therapy?

IV Ketamine Therapy involves the administration of a low dose of ketamine via an IV infusion. This treatment has been shown to help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. The effects of IV Ketamine Therapy can be felt almost immediately, and can last for several days to several weeks.

How does IV Ketamine Therapy work?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used for decades in medical settings. While its primary use is for anesthesia during surgery, recent studies have shown that low doses of ketamine can also have a powerful antidepressant effect.

The exact mechanism of how ketamine works to treat depression is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to its ability to increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as glutamate.

Is IV Ketamine Therapy safe?

IV Ketamine Therapy is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional, such as those at Nao Medical. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with this treatment, such as the potential for hallucinations, nausea, and high blood pressure. These risks are typically minimal and can be managed by our medical team.

Who can benefit from IV Ketamine Therapy?

IV Ketamine Therapy can be an effective treatment option for individuals who have not responded well to other treatments for depression and anxiety, such as medications and therapy. It may also be helpful for individuals who need a rapid relief of symptoms, such as those experiencing suicidal ideation.

What should I expect during an IV Ketamine Therapy session?

During an IV Ketamine Therapy session at Nao Medical, you will be closely monitored by our medical team to ensure your safety and comfort. The infusion typically takes about 40 minutes to complete, and you will remain at our clinic for a brief period of time afterwards to allow us to monitor you for any potential side effects.
