Abstract
Objective: Benefits of Lidocaine infusions are only known in a few types of surgery. We present the case of a patient with failed back surgery syndrome benefitting from a combination of intravenous lidocaine and ketamine. Case report: Failed back surgery syndrome is one of the most encountered conditions faced by the pain specialist. We report the case of a patient with failed back surgery syndrome resistant to conventional therapy, responding well to a combination of low dose lidocaine and ketamine infusion, after a ketamine infusion alone didn’t bring any relief. Conclusion: The combination of lidocaine and ketamine infusion in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome seems to be promising and needs further investigation.
