How Effective Are Ketamine Treatments For Reflex ...
RSD/CRPS is a very painful condition and initially patients may not full understand the long term financial implications of their condition since some treatment options are not covered by insurance due to their experimental nature, says Alabama liability attorney Keith T.Belt
Ketamine Infusion Therapy is only administered on patients, who have full-body RSD/CRPS long term and have tried a wide variety of alternative approaches to relieve thier pain like: Bier blocks, spinal blocks, intrathecal pump and other treatments, but still experience high levels of pain. The program can be done on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, but prior to beginning either therapy, extensive laboratory, cardiac, and psychological evaluations are completed to determine the current medical status of the patient. While there have been NO significant adverse events, clinics have been extremely cautious in screening patients with concurrent medical problems. The two most common reasons a patient would be eliminated are a psychiatric history of note (apart from the depression due to chronic pain) and cardiopulmonary disease.
Treatment of Ketamine Infusion Therapy is very labor intense due to the continual techincal and clinical interface required during the entire treatment process and the need to ensure the patient is constantly monitored with medication adjustments being administered when indicated. The range of fees for outpatient protocol – hospital based nornally runs between $10,000 – $50,000 and highlights the need for RSD/CRSP patients to seek legal advice on how to best financially prepare themselves to access ongoing needed treatments in the future.
