Filter by:Our goal is to study whether giving people low dose ketamine along with morphine when they come to the Emergency Department will help their pain more than giving morphine by itself. There have been many studies showing that low dose ketamine is safe and effective for pain control. Ketamine is frequently used for pain control in ambulances and helicopters transporting injured patients to the hospital and has also been used for pain control in people who have just had surgery. The investigators would like to see if low dose ketamine would be safe and effective for patients with pain in the Emergency Department. Patients are eligible for the study if they come to the Emergency Department and their treating physician decides to treat them with morphine (with certain exceptions such as pregnant patients and patients with eye injuries). They will be given information about participating in the study and if they agree, they will be given the study drug. The study drug will be either ketamine or salt water (saline). If patients continue to be in pain they will continue to receive doses of morphine just as they would if they were not in the study. If the treating physician feels that morphine alone is not enough, they will be free to choose another pain medication as they would normally.
This Study Will Evaluate Celecoxib Efficacy And Safety Versus Standard Doses Of Diclofenac In Acute Pain Due To Cervical Injury (Due To A Sprain) Related To A Motor Vehicle Accident
The use of oral ibuprofen combined with Opioid (Morphine or Diamorphine) administered through patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be clinically effective for acute pain crisis in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).
The study compares valdecoxib 40 mg once daily vs. rofecoxib 50 mg one daily in treating the signs and symptoms of acute first- or second-degree ankle sprain. The study also evaluated the disability status, tolerability and safety of these treatments.
The purpose of this study is to test in patients who have had hip replacement surgery the effectiveness (level of pain control) and the safety of 3 different dose levels of CG5503 compared with placebo and with 10-mg oxycodone during the 72-hour double-blind period and to assess the safety of the drug for 9 days after patients completed the double blind period.
The purpose of this pilot study is to provide a preliminary assessment of the feasibility and efficacy of intravenous ketamine in controlling pain in patients with sickle cell disease (who are admitted to the hospital with severe, acute pain crisis, and who have been resistant to intravenous narcotics).
