Summary
This study looked at whether adding a continuous infusion of ketamine to standard pain management can help people who had knee replacement surgery use fewer opioids and feel less pain. 100 adults were split into two groups: one got standard care plus ketamine, the other got standard care alone. Researchers measured pain levels and opioid use in the first 24 hours after surgery to see if ketamine made a difference.
