Summary

This study looks at whether giving ketamine during surgery can help reduce chronic nerve pain in people with brachial plexus injuries (nerve damage in the shoulder/arm area). About 100 adults scheduled for nerve repair surgery will be randomly assigned to receive ketamine or a placebo. Researchers will track pain levels and opioid use for one week after surgery to see if ketamine makes a difference.
