Bold claim about "reset", but as with ketamin, if these findings are confirmed they promise fast relief which makes this so interesting. Might be useful even if the effects are temporary.

Apparently, some doctors prescribe ketamin off label in the US, so people might be able to try it.

Certainly not for everyone. Quality also varies widely.
