NCT ID NCT07254936

Summary

This study compared two medications, ketamine and dexmedetomidine, for managing pain in patients recovering from brain surgery in the intensive care unit. Researchers enrolled 38 patients who could not easily communicate their pain and measured their discomfort using observable signs like facial expressions. The goal was to determine which medication provided better pain relief during the first 24 hours after surgery.
