Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare pain management strategies for patients hospitalized with acute pancreatitis. Standard of care pain management will be compared to standard of care plus intravenous ketorolac.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients hospitalized for acute pancreatitis and admitted to an internal medicine team will be eligible for study. Patients enrolled will be blindly randomized to receive open-label pain management of standard of care or standard of care plus intravenous ketorolac. Patients will be enrolled between hour 24 and 48 of hospitalization.
