Asthma drug trial aims to stop elbows from locking up after breaks
NCT ID NCT03582176
Summary
This study tested if ketotifen, a long-approved asthma medication, could prevent elbow stiffness (contracture) after a serious fracture or dislocation. 395 adults who needed surgery for their recent elbow injury took either a low dose, high dose, or placebo pill twice daily for 6 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug improved the elbow's range of motion 12 weeks later compared to the placebo.
