Brief Summary

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

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential procedure that can be complicated by post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Indomethacin and ketorolac are two medications used to prevent PEP. The main reason for this research study is to compare the effectiveness these drugs at reducing rates of PEP. There have been no studies comparing the effectiveness of these medications in preventing PEP in pediatric patients. You are being asked to take part in this research study because you are scheduled to have an ERCP as part of your medical care.
