New study tests ketamine vs. lidocaine to fight rib fracture pain and cut opioid use
NCT ID NCT04781673
Summary
This study aims to find which of two non-opioid medications, ketamine or lidocaine, works better to control severe pain in adults with multiple broken ribs from trauma. The goal is to reduce the need for opioid painkillers, which can have serious side effects, while helping patients breathe better and recover faster. Researchers will compare the two drugs given through an IV drip in 74 patients over the first few days in the hospital.
