    We investigated the effects of S(+)-ketamine on pain relief and somatosensory features, assessed by quantitative sensory testing (QST). Four refractory CRPS patients received continous S(+)-ketamine-infusions, gradually titrated (50 mg/day-500 mg/day) over a 10-day period. Pain inten...

Recruitment for a full-scale study of sciatica of 2 to 12 weeks duration is not feasible, given the methods used in this pilot study. Our results do indicate, however, that t...
