Ketorolac shot for painful hand and arm tendon/joint problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a ketorolac injection can safely reduce pain and symptoms from certain shoulder, elbow, hand, or wrist tendon or joint conditions. It may help people who haven’t had surgery for the problem yet.

This study tests whether OSTENIL TENDON, a gel-like substance injected into the tendon, can safely reduce pain and improve movement in people with common tendon problems (like jumper's knee or tennis elbow). It may be a good option if other treatments haven't worked for you.
This study tests whether an NSAID injection or a corticosteroid injection works better for thumb base arthritis. If you have ongoing pain despite using things like ibuprofen, ice, or a brace, this trial may help find which treatment offers better relief.
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 study tests whether ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), helps manage pain after hip surgery. It may offer an opioid-sparing option for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
This study tests two different pain relief methods after hand or wrist surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus an anti-inflammatory medication called ketorolac. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a steroid injection into the muscle can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with hand osteoarthritis. It is for those whose pain is moderate to severe and hasn't been helped enough by standard pain medications.
