The Neuroscience Center in Deerfield, IL has pioneered a new treatment that is giving RSD patients much relief. Dr's at the Neuroscience Center have combined two therapies together, a high-dose intravenous ketamine infusion and during one hour, patients simultaneously receive magnetic stimulation of the brain (known as TMS). TMS works on the brain's pain center. Patients may require dozens of treatments.
Objective tests have been done which monitor patients with an imaging procedure called brain SPECT. This allows doctors to monitor blood flow to different regions of the brain. The scans show a rebalancing of the blood flow to the brain after treatments. This combination therapy is being used for other chronic pain conditions as well such as fibromyalgia, phantom limb pain, & rheumatoid arthritis.
