I have read a number of studies that indicate that ketamine can be an effective treatment for chronic pain, including neuropathic pain from PHN. Does anyone have any experience in trying this treatment?
I have an appointment in 2 weeks with a pain clinic where this might be an option. I will try update this post with any relevant info afterwards.

hi geezee,
i feel your pain. my PM Dr. gave me a topical with 2% (I think it was) ketamine....no effect on my facialcranial PHN itchypains/electric jolts/achey pains on my left forehead, scalp or cheek. doesn't mean it won't work you for though....medications are problematic, what works for one person won't work for another and vice versa.
good luck!
