Über diesen Anbieter
Synapseklinikken is an Oslo clinic (Sorkedalsveien 10D) offering intravenous low-dose ketamine treatment for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety and PTSD, with chronic-pain cases referred to partner Oslo Smerteklinikk. It bases its approach on Sykehuset Ostfold's treatment protocol, adapted individually. The pathway is a free 15-minute phone call, an obligatory psychologist assessment and medical examination, then typically six infusions over about three weeks; each 120-minute session includes a roughly 40-minute monitored infusion with anaesthesia nurses present and specialist doctors on site. An obligatory psychologist evaluation follows the series, plus free follow-up calls at 3, 6 and 12 months. The team spans psychiatry, anaesthesia and pain medicine, many with over 30 years' experience. No referral is required.

Häufige Fragen
What does treatment cost and what is included?
Infusions cost NOK 4,250 each; published package examples run from NOK 12,750 (three follow-up infusions) to NOK 38,490 (start-up plus eight infusions), with the standard start-up-plus-six-infusions pathway at NOK 29,990 including the psychologist assessment, medical exam, final evaluation and free follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months. Evening appointments carry a NOK 300 surcharge.
Is it covered by the public system or insurance?
The clinic states infusion treatment for depression/anxiety is not yet part of the public offer for individual patients, even though the method was approved for hospital use for treatment-resistant depression in August 2025, and that neither Helfo nor standard health insurance covers the infusion itself - treatment is paid privately. It adds that treatment insurance typically covers up to 10 psychologist consultations (insurers named include Storebrand, Tryg, If, Gjensidige, Sparebanken 1 and Vertikal), so the talk-therapy parts may be reimbursed; the clinic can supply documentation.
How do I start, and do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Book a free 15-minute phone call (phone +47 22 32 22 33, weekdays 10:00-15:00, or online), then an obligatory psychologist assessment and medical examination. The clinic asks for documentation of previous treatment (e.g., hospital discharge summaries or GP/psychologist notes), which can be sent via its online patient-record system. Waiting time is short; the first infusion can often be offered the day after clearance.
How does a session and a full course work?
Each session lasts about two hours: preparation, a ~40-minute slow infusion while you rest in a comfortable chair (eye mask and blanket offered, vital signs monitored, doctor or nurse always present), then about 30 minutes of observation. A typical course is six infusions over about three weeks (e.g., two per week), adjustable between 3-4 and 6-8 depending on response. You must arrange transport home and not drive until the next day.
How is payment handled?
The clinic is cashless: pay by card or Vipps. Instalment plans are offered on request. Invoicing afterwards incurs a NOK 90 fee. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours ahead in office hours (Mon-Fri 08:00-16:00) or 100% is charged; documented illness is not billed.
