What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • S-ketamineDrug

    After surgery, patient-controlled analgesia is provided. The pump is established with S-ketamine 1mg/kg, sufentanil 2microgram/kg, andondansetron16mg, diluted with normal saline to 100 ml. The pump is programmed to deliver 2 ml boluses with a background infusion rate at 2 ml /h and a 30 min lockout interval.

  • PlaceboDrug

    After surgery, patient-controlled analgesia is provided. The pump is established with sufentanil 2microgram/kg, andondansetron16mg, diluted with normal saline to 100 ml. The pump is programmed to deliver 2 ml boluses with a background infusion rate at 2 ml /h and a 30 min lockout interval.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The percentage of patients with moderate-to-severe pain

    Measured: Up to 48 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. NRS pain score at rest and with movement

    Pain is assessed with a numeric rating scale (NRS; an 11-point scale where 0=no pain and 10=the worst pain)

    Measured: Hour 12 & Hour 24 & Hour 48 after surgery

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
