Summary

This study looks at using esketamine, a different kind of pain medicine, to manage pain during a procedure that destroys liver tumors with heat. The goal is to find the right dose that works without needing strong opioids, which can have more side effects. About 79 adults with liver cancer will take part to see how well esketamine controls pain and how safe it is.
