ICU trial aims to curb opiate dependence with safer painkiller

NCT ID NCT06819956

Summary

This study is testing if a common anti-inflammatory drug (ketorolac) can be used at lower doses to safely reduce pain in ICU patients, with the goal of decreasing their need for strong opiate painkillers. It's a small pilot study with 30 participants to see if a larger trial is possible. Researchers want to know if this approach can help control pain while lowering the risk of future opiate dependence.
