Brief Summary

Postoperative pain management impacts the well being and rehabilitation of the patient. • Tissue injury during surgery modifies the central processing pathway for pain perception. • Preventing sensitization by an analgesic administered before a painful stimuli is the basis for preemptive analgesia. • The induction and maintainance of central sensitization depends on tha activation of N-methyl-D aspartic acid receptors(NMDA). • Administration of ketamine ,an NMDA receptor antagonist prevents central sensitization to peripheral nociceptor stimulus and prevents postoperative pain. • This study aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic requirement in patients receiving ketamine before skin incision with those receiving after wound closure.
