Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of ketamine on prevention of postmastectomy chronic pain. A pilot study].
This pilot study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of a trial to estimate the preventive effect of ketamine on postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). ⋯ We found no preventive effect of ketamine on the development of PMPS. However, the non-statistically significant effect of ketamine on hyperalgesia three months after surgery could justify a larger study with the same methodology.
