Summary
This study investigates the use of low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication,
is more effective at controlling the acute pain of patients in the emergency department than
opiate pain medication alone. In addition, this study examines whether patients treated with
low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication, will require less opiate pain
medication to control their pain, and whether these patients are equally happy with their
pain control as patients who receive only opiate pain medication.
