An Evaluation of Pain Outcomes of Ketorolac Administration in Children Undergoing Circumcision

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed by Pediatric Urologists. Ketorolac has been shown to have an efficacy similar to morphine in multi-modal analgesic regimens without the commonly associated adverse effects. This study aims to see if giving ketorolac during the operation will result in better pain control. We hypothesize that ketorolac will result in pain control similar to morphine with a lower incidence of side effects such as nausea and vomiting.
