Ketamine's Effect Changes the Cortical Electrophysiological Activity Related to Semantic Affective Dimension of Pain

Schizophrenia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Ketamine's Effect Changes the Cortical Electrophysiological Activity Related to Semantic Affective Dimension of Pain: a Placebo-controlled Study in Healthy Male Subjects

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a clinical trial that intend to determine the effects of S-ketamine on event-related potentials associated with semantic affective pain-processing

Clinical Trial Description

Ketamine is a unique anesthetic with neural effects that are distinct from more commonly-used γ-aminobutyric acid agonists. Evidence suggest that analgesic effect of ketamine is primarily related to the affective than the sensorial aspects of pain interpretation. The investigators investigated whether ketamine, a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist, would modify the perceived emotional valence of pain-related words when compared to non-pain-related ones in healthy volunteers. Using a single session double-blind parallel placebo-controlled design, 24 healthy volunteers were randomized to receive intravenous S-ketamine (n=12) or placebo (n=12). During infusion (plasmatic target of 60 ng/ml), the effects of ketamine were recorded using EEG and oddball behavioral data was monitored. Evoked potentials (N200 and P300 components) were recorded during performance of a semantic written word oddball task containing pain-related (targets) and non-pain-related words (standards). Expected results: The findings of this study can help in the understanding of neurophysiologic mechanisms involved in ketamine's effects both in psychiatric diseases as in the treatment of postoperative acute and chronic pain. ;
