First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a lower dose (15 mg) of the painkiller ketorolac works as well as a higher dose (60 mg) for treating sudden muscle pain in a military emergency department. 110 adults with acute muscle pain received one injection of either dose. The results showed that the lower dose was just as effective at reducing pain after 60 minutes, with no major safety concerns.
