Pain and sedation for fracture and dislocation treatment in the ER
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests how well pain and sedation medicines work in the emergency department when treating adults with certain broken bones or dislocated joints that need to be set or casted. It aims to see which approach is safest and most comfortable for patients.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two approaches for treating a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) in people 65 and older: no reduction (letting the bone heal without realigning it) versus closed reduction (realigning the bone without surgery). It aims to see if skipping reduction leads to similar outcomes and avoids unnecessary procedures.
This trial compares different ways to manage pain for children who come to the emergency room with a broken wrist that needs to be reset. The goal is to find which pain medicine or numbing method works best and is safest for kids.
This trial looks at how well different pain medicines work after surgery for a specific type of broken elbow bone. It may help find a safer, more comfortable pain-control plan while the fracture heals.
This study surveys emergency doctors, nurses, and patients to understand how pain relief and sedation are managed. It aims to improve care in emergency resuscitation rooms.
This study compares two treatments—casting or an operation—for a specific elbow fracture in children. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery after a recent fracture.
This study tests whether a combination of two sedative medications can help reduce pain and relax muscles after a hip dislocation. It aims to make the procedure of putting the hip back in place more comfortable and successful.
