Intramuscular Ketorolac Versus Oral Ibuprofen for Pain Relief in First Trimester Suction Curettage: a Randomized Clinical Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ketorolac and Ibuprofen for Pain. Completed, enrolled 94 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of pre-procedural ketorolac to ibuprofen on immediate post-procedural pain scores in patients undergoing first trimester suction curettage with local anesthesia only. Our primary hypothesis is that IM ketorolac compared to oral ibuprofen will result in an approximate 30% reduction in pain scores on a 21-point numerical rating scale immediately after the procedure. Secondary hypotheses include: * Pain scores on the 21-point scale will also be significantly lower in the ketorolac group immediately after cervical dilation and 15 minutes post-procedure. * Fewer patients in the ketorolac group will rate their pain as "severe" on a subjective pain rating scale. * Patients in the ketorolac group will be more satisfied with their pain control. * Side effects will be similar between groups.

Interventions
For subjects weighing over 50 kg, ketorolac 60 mg in 2cc administered via intramuscular injection 30-60 minutes before suction curettage procedure. For subjects weighing 50 kg or less, ketorolac 30 mg in 1 cc administered via intramuscular injection 30-60 minutes before suction curettage procedure
For subjects weighing over 50 kg, ibuprofen 800 mg tablet administered orally 60-90 minutes before suction curettage procedure. For subjects weighing 50 kg or less, ibuprofen 600 mg tablet administered orally 60-90 minutes before suction curettage procedure.
