Summary

This study looked at 304 children aged 2 to 17 with broken arm or leg bones who came to the emergency room in severe pain. Researchers wanted to see if giving paracetamol (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) along with morphine worked better than morphine alone. They measured pain levels 30 minutes after treatment to find the best way to ease children's pain quickly.
