Summary

This study tested whether adding a sedative (midazolam) to standard pain medicine (morphine) could better reduce pain in children with arm fractures. 60 children aged 5-16 were randomly assigned to receive either morphine plus midazolam or morphine plus a placebo. Researchers measured pain levels at several time points to see if the combination worked better.
