First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving ketamine within the first hour of a sickle cell pain crisis can lower the chance of being admitted to the hospital. About 90 children and young adults aged 6 to 24 will receive either ketamine or a placebo by mouth. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces hospital stays and the need for stronger pain medicines.
