Chronic pain conditions are complex and deeply personal, impacting every facet of an individual’s life. At KetaMIND Clinics, we specialise in the management and treatment of chronic neuropathic pain through innovative infusion therapies.

What is chronic neuropathic pain?

Chronic neuropathic pain arises from the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It is characterised by persistent pain and often resists typical pain management strategies. 

Neuropathic pain can significantly impair quality of life and is commonly seen in conditions such as diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological injuries or diseases. 

What conditions are treated with infusion therapy?

Our infusions are specifically designed to target and alleviate chronic neuropathic pain.

Conditions that may respond well to our treatment include:

• Fibromyalgia, a disorder that affects muscle and soft tissue displayed by chronic muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue and sleep disturbances
• Neuralgia conditions like trigeminal neuralgia or postherpetic neuralgia
• Diabetic neuropathy, where the pain is associated with nerve damage from diabetes
• Pain from demyelination disorders such as multiple sclerosis
• A cancer-related neuropathic pain, arising either from cancer itself or as a side effect of treatments like chemotherapy
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a severe chronic pain condition affecting a limb after injury or surgery
• Post-stroke pain, which occurs after a stroke or cerebral haemorrhage
• Parkinson’s disease, where the pain is a frequent but often overlooked symptom. 

How effective are infusion therapies for chronic pain?

Our infusion therapies have proven to be effective in managing severe and intractable pain conditions, including chronic migraines and fibromyalgia. These treatments offer relief by directly targeting the nervous system, helping to reduce pain intensity and improve overall quality of life. 

What can I expect during treatment?

Patients usually undergo a series of five 4-hour infusions across consecutive days. This intensive treatment approach allows for significant alleviation of pain symptoms. It is often accompanied by an improvement in associated mood disorders such as depression, which commonly coexist with chronic pain. 

How do you monitor and assess pain?

At KetaMIND, we use the DVPRS (Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale) form to meticulously assess and monitor the severity of chronic pain and its impact on your life. This comprehensive evaluation helps tailor our treatments to your specific needs and tracks your progress throughout the treatment regimen. 

How do I get started with KetaMIND for my chronic pain?

If you’re struggling with chronic neuropathic pain and traditional treatments have failed to provide relief, consider KetaMIND’s specialised infusion therapies. To begin, patients are encouraged to complete the DVPRS questionnaire, which is available on our website under ‘Patient Forms.’ This initial step helps us understand your pain profile and guide our subsequent treatment recommendations. 

At KetaMIND Clinics, we are committed to understanding and supporting the unique challenges of chronic pain with empathy and expertise. Contact us to explore how our innovative approaches can restore comfort and joy to your life.
