Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of intravenous low dose ketamine (LDK) to the industry standard of morphine (MOR) in regards to controlling acute pain in the emergency department. Both LDK and morphine have side effects. The amount and character of these side effects will be compared. Additionally, the degree of sedation or agitation will be specifically measured. The aim of this current study is to make this comparison and shift the evidence for LDK use from the anecdotal to the scientific.
