This study tests if a nasal spray of ketorolac (an NSAID pain reliever) or ketamine (a dissociative anesthetic) can reduce the pain of a numbing injection in your finger. If you need a finger block, this could make the procedure more comfortable.

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 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.
