Summary
Ketamine, traditionally used as an anesthetic, shows promising results in managing cancer-related pain. This review analyzed multiple clinical trials and found that ketamine effectively reduced pain intensity in cancer patients, particularly when conventional painkillers weren't enough. Both short-term and long-term pain relief were observed, with minimal side effects.
