Official title
ASPIRED: Alleviating Suicidality by Combining Psychotherapy and IM Ketamine for Rapid Treatment in the Emergency Department - A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Participants are asked to take part in this research study after coming to the Emergency Department with thoughts or behaviors of seriously hurting themselves. There are very few resources to treat acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors in an emergency department. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of combining an intramuscular (IM) injection of ketamine and Crisis Response Planning (CRP), a single, 45-60 minute psychological intervention with a therapist, to quickly reduce suicidal thoughts in patients treated in an emergency department (ED) prior to being admitted to the hospital.
