Comparing nose and mouth pain medicines for broken bones in kids
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares three different fast-acting pain medicines given through the nose or by mouth to children with a suspected broken arm or leg in the emergency room. The goal is to find which medicine works best for pain relief within the first hour.
