At New Pathways Clinic, we curate the optimal healing experience for our patients. Music plays an important role in the experience of ketamine therapy, impacting the treatment itself and how you feel after.
During treatment, music can help calm feelings of anxiety that may arise, thus making the experience more enjoyable.

Certain types of music may lower blood pressure, stabilize or increase dissociative states and increase patient tolerance for higher dosages. These findings suggest music could be a valuable tool for enhancing both the therapeutic impact and side-effect management of ketamine treatments.
In fact, another study found that 87% of patients receiving ketamine therapy agreed that listening to music improves their treatment outcomes. Also, 76% of patients indicated that music helps them to relax more deeply into their session. Most clinicians agree with patients that music can help them along their ketamine journey.
