First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a pain-relief gel applied to the skin works as well as ibuprofen pills for children aged 6 to 18 with recent ankle or knee injuries. About 60 kids will use either the gel or the pills three times a day for three days and report their pain levels. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, while also checking how well each treatment eases pain.
