Current evidence remains conflicting on the efficacy of ketamine for CFP owing to low quality and heterogeneity across studies. Ketamine infusions are suggested to provide sustained improvement, possibly because of prolonged duration and higher dosage of administration. RCTs should focus on the dose-response relationship of prolonged ketamine infusions on CFP.
