Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Ninety patients 18-45 yr old American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA) physical status I or II, scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were studied in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized way. The patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 30 each. The ketamine group (groupK) received bupivacaine 10 mg combined with 0.1mg/kg ketamine preservative free solution ,The midazolam group (groupM) received bupivacaine 10mg combined with0.02 mg/kg midazolam and The placebo group (group P) received bupivacaine 10mg combined with 0.5ml distilled water(intrathecally) for each three groups 5 minutes prior to surgery)

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Enrollment is decided and permission of the patient is obtained by the anesthesiologists during preoperative rounding.This is a double blinded clinical trial, with blinding of both the patient and the administrating practitioner to the anaesthetic type. Allocation will be managed by a Resident external to the project. The blinding will occur through use of equal amounts of pretreatment drugs (3ml’s) Each syringe will be labeled A ,B,C according to its contents. . The drug syringes are handed over to anesthesiologists blinded to the patient allocation to carry out the spinal of anesthesia
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization was based on computer-generated codes
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
