In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ketamine and Morphine for Abdomen, Acute and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of intravenous low dose ketamine (LDK) to the industry standard of morphine (MOR) in regards to controlling acute pain in the emergency department. Both LDK and morphine have side effects. The amount and character of these side effects will be compared. Additionally, the degree of sedation or agitation will be specifically measured.
