Summary

This study looked at whether a 15 mg dose of the painkiller ketorolac works as well as a 60 mg dose for treating sudden muscle pain in a military emergency department. 110 adults with acute muscle pain received one of the two doses. The main goal was to see if the lower dose was not worse than the higher dose at reducing pain after 60 minutes.
