Clinical Trial: Comparing Intramuscular Fentanyl and Ketorolac With Nerve of Arnold (NOA) Block for Bilateral Myringotomy

U.S., Dec. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07276906) titled 'Comparing Intramuscular Fentanyl and Ketorolac With Nerve of Arnold (NOA) Block for Bilateral Myringotomy' on Nov. 19.

Brief Summary: Background: Bilateral myringotomy with tympanostomy tube (BMT) placement is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures. Despite its brief duration, many children experience significant postoperative pain. Current standard care typically involves intramuscular (IM) administration of an opioid (fentanyl) combined with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ketorolac).
