Chronic Pain
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a complex condition that often happens after an injury. It leads to strong and lasting pain that’s worse than what you might expect from the initial injury. This pain can spread to other parts of your body. You might also notice changes in the way your skin looks, feels, and even its temperature. Ketamine can help relieve pain associated with CRPS.
