ketamine for migraines
At Satori Clinics, we offer ketamine therapy for migraines in Colorado. Ketamine therapy is a promising treatment for those struggling with severe, chronic migraines, providing fast relief.
Migraines often come in many different levels of pain from a deliberating headache to other symptoms like light sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting. These episodes of pain can last for long periods of time affecting one’s daily life.
Finding the right chronic migraine treatment can be a challenge. Traditional medications like NSAIDs, acetaminophen, serotonin receptor antagonists, and CGRP receptor antagonists can often falls short for many in providing relief.

frequently asked questions about ketamine for migraines
If you have questions about ketamine therapy, you are not alone. Below are answers to some of the questions we get asked most frequently about ketamine for migraines.
how does ketamine for migraines work?
While research is still ongoing, studies have shown that ketamine works to repair damaged neural pathways in the brain, thus relieving the symptoms of depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications that work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, ketamine therapy works on the glutamate system—it’s a whole new way of treating depression, and it has proven to be fast, effective, and safe.
how often do I need to receive ketamine therapy?
Initially, we recommend a series of 4–6 infusions over the course of two weeks. After that, you will receive maintenance infusions based on your needs. Some patients visit us for monthly infusions, while others go 6-months or longer between maintenance infusions. Some patients find that ketamine therapy lifts their symptoms enough for them to maintain their symptoms with traditional therapies, like antidepressant medications, talk therapy, exercise, meditation, and other self-care practices.
how long does a ketamine infusion take?
Ketamine for depression is administered via IV infusion over a period of about 40–60 minutes. After your infusion, we will monitor your vitals before discharging you into the care of a friend or loved one. You should not drive or operate heavy machinery until the next day.
what are the side effects of ketamine therapy?
The side effects of a ketamine infusion are generally mild. Nausea is one of the more common side effect, and we are equipped to administer anti-nausea medication in tandem with your ketamine drip. Other side effects include dizziness, fuzzy vision, a sense of floating, or mild, non-threatening hallucinations. These side effects typically wear off within 1–2 hours of a ketamine infusion.
