ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two pain relief medications, dexketoprofen and ibuprofen, to see which one works better for patients with long bone fractures, such as breaks in the tibia (shin bone), femur (thigh bone), or humerus (upper arm bone). The trial is currently looking for participants, and anyone aged between 18 and 80 who has a significant fracture and is experiencing moderate to severe pain may qualify. To be eligible, participants should be conscious, cooperative, and able to communicate their pain level.

If you decide to take part in this study, you will receive one of the two medications to help manage your pain. The researchers want to understand how effective each medication is, so your experience and feedback will be important. It’s also worth noting that certain conditions, like having other serious health issues or being pregnant, may prevent you from participating. This study is a great opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge while receiving care for your injury.
