“…The effects on NMDA receptors play an important role for ketamine in chronic pain management [76] . Most recently, ketamine has been used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, especially those that have a neuropathic component, and cancer pain [77,78] . Low dose ketamine produces strong analgesia in neuropathic pain states, presumably by inhibition of the NMDA receptor, although other mechanisms are possibly involved, including enhancement of descending inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects acting centrally.…”
