NCT ID NCT04908579

Summary

This study is testing whether giving the drug ketamine before surgery can better control pain after a common weight loss procedure called laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Researchers will compare ketamine against a standard pain control method in 90 patients. The main goal is to see if ketamine helps patients need less additional pain medication after their operation.
