Brief Summary

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

The KetMo study is an investigator-initiated, randomized, parallel group, double blinded trial investigating if ketamine as an adjunct to morphine improves pain treatment in the ED.

Patients in pain (assessed on NRS, 5 or more) will be randomized to low-dose ketamine or placebo as an adjunct to morphine. Patients with or without prior use of opioids will be randomized separately.

The primary outcome will be pain reduction, assessed on NRS, after 10 minutes. Secondary outcomes include pain reduction until 120 minutes after injection of study medicine, need for rescue opioid, side effects and patient- and provider satisfaction.

Intervention, low-dose ketamine

Two 1 ml syringes with Esketamine (5 mg/ml) will be prepared and study drug will be administered as intravenous bolus dose, 0,1 mg/kg. The study drug will be administered after an intravenous morphine dose.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

low dose ketamine

Intervention Type DRUG

Low dose ketamine 0.1 mg/kg Product: Esketamin "Orifarm" 5 mg/ml

Placebo

Two 1 ml syringes with saline will be prepared and study drug will be administered as intravenous dose, same volume as if Esketamine. The placebo drug will be administered after an intravenous morphine dose.
