Lidocaine and Ketamine Versus Standard Care on Acute and Chronic Pain
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
The investigators are conducting this study to find out if intravenous (injected through the vein) infusion of lidocaine and ketamine administered with general anesthesia is as effective as a paravertebral block in lessening pain after surgery and that both of these techniques are superior to general anesthesia alone in reducing pain immediately after surgery and in the long-term.
