Among 374 adults with moderate-to-severe PTSD who completed six sessions of at-home, telehealth-supported ketamine-assisted therapy, PTSD symptoms improved substantially. Mean PCL-5 scores dropped from 51.1 at baseline to 28.3 after session 6, a 44.6% reduction. The clinical response rate was 79.7%, and 60.7% achieved remission. Suicidal ideation resolved completely in 75.9% of those who reported it at baseline. Depression and anxiety scores also declined by about half. Side effects occurred in 4.3% of participants. Controlled trials are needed to confirm causality.
Among 13,963 adults with moderate-to-severe sleep disturbances who received at-home ketamine-assisted therapy for depression, 67.4% showed at least a 1-point improvement on a single sleep-related item from a depression screening tool after two sessions. By session six, 76.8% of completers met that threshold, and the average score dropped 48.8% from baseline. However, the study could not separate sleep changes from mood improvement because all participants were treated for depression and no control group was included. Side effects were reported by 3.7% to 5.0% of participants across sessions.
