A new clinic (508-848-8089) recently opened near New Bedford, Massachusetts is helping patients to manage difficult and treatment-resistant depression and pain conditions using ketamine infusion therapy.

Dartmouth,United States - October 23, 2022 /PressCable/ —
For at least the past two decades, doctors around the world have been prescribing ketamine to help treat patients with depression, PTSD, and other disorders. Unfortunately, the treatment has been rarely used in the USA until recently, when the new Thrive IV clinic launched ketamine infusion options near New Bedford, Massachusetts.
More information about the Thrive IV clinic and conditions that may respond to ketamine therapy can be found at http://www.thriveiv.net
Though ketamine has been approved by the FDA for many decades, research has more recently shown that it can be helpful in treating 70 to 80% of patients with treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, OCD and postpartum depression. Also, ketamine has shown great promise in helping patients with pain related to CRPS, RSD, Lyme, MS, Fibromyalgia, diabetes and neuropathies. The treatment options from Dartmouth-based Thrive IV are carefully designed by a dedicated physician to meet the individual needs and diagnosis of the patient.
During treatment, patients are carefully monitored by a medical team as they are eased in to experiencing mild effects, including hallucinations or out-of-body experiences. These effects are expected and are typically short-lived, easily controlled and are a good sign that the patient is responding to the treatments.
“During each session, you are made as comfortable as possible in a soft recliner in a private room with easy lighting and soft positive music,” a spokesperson explained, “You should bring headphones and a blanket. Anything that makes you comfortable and at ease we encourage the patients to bring to their infusion.”
A typical session lasts approximately one hour, though some procedures may be as long as four or more hours for certain conditions, such as chronic pain. While Dr. Pellegrino will design each treatment to match the individual, it is common for patients to receive around 3-6 treatments during the initial phases. “We reassess their condition and progress constantly to help determine the next steps moving forward.”
Ideally, patients will have improved enough after the initial treatments to be put on a minimal maintenance schedule for further treatments. This may include having as many treatments as one every few weeks, or as few as one every several months.
A spokesperson said, “Ketamine therapy has been shown to help as many as 70-80% or more in some studies. We specialize in Ketamine infusions to help increase your feeling of well-being and reduce the terrible pain, depression, or anxiety you’ve been experiencing. Giving you hope to live a happier and more productive, fulfilled life.”

Table tennis fans had a unique experience watching star duo Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha beat their Uzbekistan opponents in the Asian Games, after state media used three smartphones to stream the match live to viewers back in China. The reason for the extraordinary measure? Out of nine competition tables, organisers of the Asian Games equipped only Tables 1 and 2 with broadcast cameras, leaving the rest without live coverage. Wang and Sun played on Table 4 at Sky Hall Toyota arena on...
North Korea’s Ri Song-gum set three world records to give her country their first gold in weightlifting at the Asian Games on Wednesday, while South Korea’s badminton world No 1 An Se-young had stern words for her watching father. Ri set the world records in the women’s 49kg class in Nagoya, joining an elite club of just four weightlifters who have won three Asian Games gold medals. The reigning two-time world champion added to her Asian Games golds in Jakarta in 2018 in the 48kg class and...
Hong Kong’s Natalie Kan Cheuk-tung beat her personal best time twice in a single day and broke a Hong Kong record set by Siobhan Haughey on her way to bronze in the women’s 100m butterfly at the Asian Games on Wednesday. The 24-year-old touched the wall in 58.05 seconds to finish third behind China’s Yu Yiting and Zhang Yufei, eclipsing Haughey’s previous city mark of 58.12 seconds set in 2023. China’s Yu and Zhang captured gold and silver with times of 56.41 and 56.44, respectively. Kan had...
Hong Kong wushu athlete Lydia Sham Hui-yu said a gruelling training schedule allowed her to deliver on an Asian Games gold medal pledge she made to her idol, Exo boy band member Kai. On Tuesday, after winning the women’s changquan event to secure Hong Kong’s first gold of the Asian Games, the 26-year-old posted a video on social media sharing the medal ceremony and tagging the official accounts of South Korean boy band Exo and Kai. “I kept the promise I made to Kim Jong-in [Kai] at the fan sign...

Siobhan Haughey may have cemented her place as Hong Kong’s best athlete ever after capturing yet another Asian Games gold medal on Tuesday. Touching the wall first in 52.45 seconds – ahead of a pack of swimmers at least three years younger – to defend her women’s 100m freestyle title successfully pushed Haughey’s gold medal count at the regional multi-sports bonanza to four, after she also retained the 200m freestyle crown she won in Hangzhou the previous day. From showcasing to the world her...
The briefest of wobbles cost Chloe Leung Wing-yee Asian Games road race gold on Tuesday, but 48 hours after a bitterly disappointing individual time trial, the Hongkonger and her coach were content with the bronze she captured in Japan. Herve Dagorne suspected his rider was destined for victory as the 90.4km tussle in secluded Shinshiro City entered its business end. Committing unflinchingly to her pre-race strategy of attacking on the downhills, however, Leung slipped to hand the initiative to...
Madonna, Bob Dylan and Jack White have banned phones from their concerts. An exasperated Adele once asked an audience member: “Can you stop filming me? … You can enjoy it in real life rather than through your camera.” In the sporting sphere, however, those bastions of decorum at Augusta National Golf Club are alone in waging war on mobile devices, employing a strict cell phone ban for patrons attending the US Masters. Mark Calcavecchia, the 1989 Open Championship winner and veteran of 18...

Plagued by controversy ranging from athlete accommodation and dining complaints to severe operational blunders including misrecorded scores and incorrect national anthems, Asian Games host Japan has faced criticism for deflecting blame onto delegations and foreign contractors rather than addressing its own shortcomings. And now some in the country are worried they could be landed with the label of hosting the “worst Asian Games ever”. On Tuesday, the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Organising Committee...
Pan Zhanle admitted he had a “fire burning inside” during his successful title defence of the men’s 100m freestyle at the Asian Games. Motivated by a rival’s claim that he was not unbeatable, the 22-year-old “controlled his anger” to overturn two South Korean swimmers in the final 10 metres to snatch gold. A day later on Monday, swimming the third leg in a team with Xu Haibo, Fei Liwei and Zhang Zhanshuo, he led China to its first men’s 4x200m freestyle relay Asian Games gold in 16 years,...
Hong Kong’s Ryan Choi Chun-yin came with a whisker of winning Asian Games gold on Tuesday, and said after suffering a losing run in mahjong he felt his luck had been about to change. The 28-year-old former world champion had dominated for much of the day, and even when behind, launched a stunning fightback in the final of the men’s individual foil competition. Battling local hero Kazuki Iimura, Choi found himself in a hole early on at the Aichi Sky Expo, and slipped 4-2 behind quite...
