First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at two common ways to manage pain in children after elbow fracture surgery: opioids versus over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The goal was to see if non-opioid options work just as well, which could reduce opioid use and risks. The study was stopped early after enrolling 29 children.
