Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how ketamine brings about dissociative symptoms.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The goal of this proposed research is to record the effects of ketamine on brain activity to understand the changes that occur during dissociation in epilepsy patients with stereoEEG.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: Ketamine

Study participants will receive 0.5mg/kg of ketamine - one single infusion

Drug: Ketamine
Study participants will receive 0.5mg/kg of ketamine - one single infusion
Other Names:
  • Ketalar
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of participants with dissociative events during ketamine infusion as assessed by CADSS (Clinician-Administered Dissociative State Scale) [up to 1 week]

      The CADSS is an instrument for the measurement of dissociative symptoms. The CADSS comprises 23 subjective items and participant's responses are coded on a 5-point scale (0 = Not at all; 4 = Extreme). The higher the number on the CADSS, the more severe the symptoms.
