About this study

Official title: Comparing Low Dose IV Ketamine-midazolam Versus IV Morphine Regarding ED Pain Control in Patients Sustaining Closed Limb Fracture(s)

the investigators assessed the effects of low-dose IV ketamine-midazolam versus morphine on pain control in trauma patients with closed limb fracture(s); and also compared the incidence of adverse events (mainly cardio pulmonary ) between two groups.

Read the detailed description

this prospective, single blind, noninferiority trial randomized consecutive ED patients aged 18 to 60 years to two groups: receiving either 300-500 mcg ketamine plus 0.03 mg midazolam, or 0.05 to 0.1 mg morphine. Visual analogue score and adverse events were carefully verified during an interval of 30 minutes.

Two hundreds, thirty six patients were selected, among whom were 207 males (87.3%), and 29 females (12.2%). The average age was 29±2, with extremes of 60 years and 18 years.the patients were divided into two groups: G1: 116 patients receiving ketamine-midazolam and G2: 120 patients receiving morphine alone.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HR,RR,SPO2,BP

    the variables were assessed for an interval of 30 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Ketamine-midazolam and Morphine in people with Closed Multiple Fractures of Upper and Lower Limbs, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VAPS (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Mar 2013.
