Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objective for this study is to evaluate the analgesic effects after administration of ketamine and intravenous dexamethasone perioperatively in patients undergoing lumbar arthrodesis and also, to study the incidence of pain and formalize perioperative analgesia.;Secondary Objective: 1 Determine the effectiveness of ketamine and intravenous dexamethasone perioperatively in patients undergoing lumbar arthrodesis. 2 Determine the incidence of pain: To study the reduction of acute postoperative pain, neuropathic pain and chronic pain in patients undergoing lumbar arthrodesis. 3. Formalize the post-operative analgesia;Primary end point(s): pain intensity will be assessed using the VAS questionnaire and consumption of morphine;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: pain intensity will be assessed by VAS questionnaire and morphine consumption the day before surgery, the same day of surgery and 3 months after the intervention
