Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to determine the tolerability and efficacy of a low-dose ketamine infusion for the treatment of Levodopa-Induced dyskinesias (LID), both acutely and during post-infusion evaluation (week 2-6), as measured by a change in patient diaries of dyskinesia and the UDysRS. Secondary objectives include observing the effects of ketamine on various symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Levodopa side effects. This includes the duration of "off," "on without dyskinesia," and "troublesome dyskinesia" time during waking hours, effects on chronic and acute pain, quality of life, and other general PD symptoms as noted in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. There is no highly effective treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesia. This research study will use intermittent infusions of ketamine, on 10 volunteer subjects, which could provide significant improvement in dyskinesia utilizing a novel mechanism of action compared to current treatment strategies. Positive results in this study could lead to new novel treatments for dyskinesia and further development for other PD symptoms such as depression and pain.
