First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a pain medicine called Ketorolac to standard care helps children drink more fluids after cleft palate surgery. About 74 children with cleft palate (with or without cleft lip) will take part. The goal is to see if better pain control leads to improved oral intake after the operation.
