Does anyone have a timeline of what the history of this has been? Because I'm fairly positive that I was going to sign up for MDMA therapy for chronic pain in Chicago ~5 years ago because a clinic nearby offered it. But when I got around to it insurance regulations had changed and was no longer going to cover part of it so it was going to be incredibly expensive.
It's possible that was ketamine therapy but I thought it was mdma.
- cactusplant7374 3y agoKetamine is sometimes used for chronic pain. It’s very expensive if the IV route is used.

MDMA is an amphetamine, and use of amphetamines for pain management is pretty rare. And even among amphetamines, MDMA is pretty undesireable for that purpose, due to its rapid development of tolerance compared to other amphetamines and risks of lasting negative side effects with repeated use in short durations - which rules out nearly all use cases for physical pain management. > It's possible that was ketamine therapy Ketamine is used to treat both acute and chronic pain, so this is much more plausible.
