Fatigue is the most common symptom of MS and has no effective pharmacotherapy. To determine the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of low-dose ketamine infusion for MS-related fatigue. In this double-blind, randomized, active placebo-controlled trial, 18 subjects with MS and reported fatigue received a single intravenous infusion of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) or midazolam (0.05 mg/kg). The primary outcome was change in Daily Fatigue Severity (DFS) for seven days following the infusion. Secondary outcomes included fatigue severity scale (FSS), and Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) measured up to day 28 post-infusion. We analyzed changes in all outcomes using mixed-effect models. 18 participants were enrolled; 67% participants received ketamine. Side effects of ketamine were transient. No change in the DFS was observed after seven days (−0.10 point; 95%CI: −0.32,0.12; p=0.40). We observed a trend in reduced FSS scores at 1-week (−5.2 points; 95%CI: −10.4,0.14; p=0.06) and a clinically and statistically significant reduction in MFIS score at day 28 (−13.5 point; 95%CI: −25.0,−1.98; p=0.04). Ketamine infusions were safe and well-tolerated. While no change in DFS after seven days was observed, secondary analyses suggest a benefit of ketamine infusion for reduction of longer-term fatigue severity in people with MS.
