First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a small amount of ketamine to standard pain medicine (like morphine) can better control severe pain in children and young adults (ages 5-20) with sickle cell disease during a painful crisis. About 120 participants will either get the usual pain medicine plus ketamine or the usual pain medicine alone. The goal is to see if the ketamine group needs less opioid medicine and has better pain scores.
