Flecainide vs amiodarone to treat fast heart rhythm in ER
This trial compares two medicines—flecainide and amiodarone—to help restore normal rhythm during an emergency visit for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a-fib). It’s aimed at people who also have coronary artery disease but no ongoing (residual) heart ischemia, and who have enough heart pumping strength.
AthensAges 18–85 - NCT05555576Recruiting
Vitamin C to reduce opioid use after an ER visit
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C after an emergency room visit for a new, short-term muscle or joint pain can lower how many opioid pain pills you use. It may help by reducing opioid consumption while you recover.

RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05589181RecruitingPhase 3
High-dose buprenorphine start in the emergency department for fentanyl use
This Phase 3 study tests whether starting a high dose of buprenorphine in the emergency department helps people with opioid use disorder come through withdrawal more safely and effectively. It focuses on people whose urine test shows fentanyl and who are already in withdrawal when they arrive.
