Painkiller (sufentanil) given by paramedics for severe trauma pain
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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 tests if an inhaled pain medicine called methoxyflurane can quickly reduce severe pain from injuries in adults before they reach the hospital. Paramedics will give the medicine to patients who have significant pain from trauma and are stable enough to travel.
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 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 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.
This trial tests two different nasal sprays (sufentanil vs ketamine) to quickly relieve severe pain from a recent arm or leg injury in children. It aims to find which works better and is safer.
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.
