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

This trial compares two pain medicines, morphine and ketamine, given through an IV, to see which works better for children with severe pain from belly pain or a broken arm or leg bone. Your child will get one of these medicines in the emergency department to help relieve pain quickly and safely.
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.
This trial tests a fast-acting pain pill (sufentanil) placed under the tongue for people with moderate to severe pain from a single arm or leg injury. It aims to see if it works well in the emergency room.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
This study compares two different nasal spray pain medicines (sufentanil and ketamine) to see which works better and is safer for children with severe pain from injuries, like a broken arm or leg.
