Ketorolac pain relief during cleft palate repair
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether ketorolac (a pain medicine similar to other NSAIDs) helps control pain during palatoplasty, the surgery to repair a cleft palate. It may help make recovery more comfortable for people having their first palate repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) are having surgery to repair a cleft palate (complete or incomplete)
- The cleft palate repair may also include the lip (if there is a cleft lip) and can be one- or both-sides
- This is the first planned palatoplasty (no previous palate repair surgery)
- You do not have a syndromic (genetic or syndromic) cleft palate
- You do not have serious heart defects that are not yet fixed
- You do not have history of stomach or gut bleeding/ulcers, kidney problems, or bleeding/clotting disorders

This study compares two common pain relievers (ketorolac and ibuprofen) given after tonsil/adenoid surgery in teenagers. It aims to see which works better while keeping side effects low.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac for a short time after orthopedic surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It is for people who have broken bones that need surgery with metal plates, screws, or rods.

This trial looks at whether a ketorolac pain medicine given directly to the leg during surgery can reduce pain after lower-limb orthopedic operations. It may help people who are having one leg operated on with spinal anesthesia and a tourniquet, but it has several safety limits.
This trial tests if a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac can help reduce pain after lower back fusion surgery. It is for people who are having elective surgery to fuse one or two bones in their lower back.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair in young children. The goal is to find which approach works best to lower pain and improve recovery.
