Testing pain medicine given before arrival to a trauma center
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving pain medicine soon after an injury (before you reach the trauma center) improves comfort and care. You might be eligible if you’re transported to a participating trauma center and meet specific shock and pain levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are transported after an injury to a participating trauma center
- You show signs of stress from injury (shock index 0.9 or higher, or heart rate 115 or higher)
- You need pain treatment right away based on pain scores (pain is at least moderate)
- You have IV access so medicine can be given through a vein
- You can’t be a child under 18, and you must meet the study’s age/sex limits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two pain medicines, morphine and ketamine, given through an IV, to see which works better for severe pain from a broken arm or leg bone or belly pain. If you have severe pain and your doctor decides you need morphine, you may be eligible to join.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of pain medicines (bupivacaine plus ketorolac and ketamine) works better than bupivacaine alone to reduce pain after placing a new heart device. If you get a new pacemaker/ICD/CRT device and meet other safety rules, you may be asked to join.
This trial compares two strong pain medicines—fentanyl and esketamine—to see which works better for treating pain right after a traumatic injury. You would receive the medicine by spray in your nose or through a vein before going to the hospital.
This trial tests whether paramedics can safely give a strong painkiller (sufentanil) to adults with severe pain from a recent injury. It aims to see if it works well and is safe when given in the field.
This trial compares two inhaled pain relievers, ketamine and fentanyl, to see which works better for sudden, severe pain in the emergency room. You would receive one of these medicines through a breathing mask to help your pain quickly.
This trial tests if ketamine can reduce pain, opioid use, and improve mental health in adults recovering from serious orthopedic injuries. It may help those with high injury severity scores.
