Low-Dose Ketamine Infusion for Burn Pain
This study is looking at whether adding a low dose of ketamine, a medication, during burn wound care can safely help with pain. Currently, standard pain medications like fentanyl and midazolam don't always fully relieve pain. Researchers want to see if ketamine infusions can provide better pain relief, reduce side effects, and decrease the need for opioids. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, admitted to a burn service with a thermal injury, and meet other criteria. The study aims to measure how well ketamine provides pain relief for up to 7 days. The current recruitment status is unclear.
