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 trial looks at whether a ketorolac pain medicine given directly to the leg during surgery can reduce pain after lower-limb orthopedic operations. It may help people who are having one leg operated on with spinal anesthesia and a tourniquet, but it has several safety limits.
This trial tests if a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac can help reduce pain after lower back fusion surgery. It is for people who are having elective surgery to fuse one or two bones in their lower back.
This study tests two strengths of a pain-relief nasal spray (ketorolac) to see which works better and is safe for adults with recent acute pain. It may offer a needle-free option for managing pain in the emergency department.
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 a pain medicine called ketorolac for children with sickle cell disease who come to the emergency room or clinic with sudden, severe pain (a pain crisis). The goal is to see if ketorolac helps relieve pain safely and quickly.
