However, no published studies have examined the integration of ketamine infusion with autogenic training for chronic pain management. This case study evaluated the feasibility of combining a 24-hour inpatient ketamine infusion with structured autogenic interventions in an active duty service member with neuropathic pain, phantom limb pain, and complex regional pain syndrome following transtibial amputation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The intervention, termed Ketamine and Autogenic Training (KAT), combines ketamine\u2019s analgesic and neuroplastic properties with the pain-modulating and stress-reducing benefits of autogenic techniques. The participant completed 2 outpatient preparation sessions prior to infusion and underwent 2 administrations of the autogenic protocol during the infusion. Pain intensity, functional impairment, and anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline, immediately post-infusion, and at 1-week, 1-month, and 2-month follow-ups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The participant remained cognitively engaged throughout the infusion and successfully completed the autogenic protocol despite receiving a relatively high subanesthetic dose. Immediate post-infusion assessments demonstrated marked reductions in pain intensity and interference, with continued reductions at 1\u00a0week and 1\u00a0month. Functional outcomes improved; depressive symptoms showed transient improvement. No adverse effects were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>These findings support the feasibility of integrating structured psychological interventions during ketamine infusion and demonstrate meaningful reductions in pain-related interference in an active duty service member. This integrative approach shows promise for enhancing functional capacity and operational readiness in military populations with chronic
