In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ketamine, Normal Saline, and 1 other intervention for Acute Pain and Pain. Completed, enrolled 116 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study investigates the use of low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication, is more effective at controlling the acute pain of patients in the emergency department than opiate pain medication alone. In addition, this study examines whether patients treated with low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication, will require less opiate pain medication to control their pain, and whether these patients are equally happy with their pain control as patients who receive only opiate pain medication.
