NCT00839787 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-06-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Surgeons are the individuals who will operate on a patient if it is determined to be necessary after they present with abdominal pain. For that reason, the investigators want to study if giving a medicine (morphine) to children presenting to the ED with abdominal pain will alleviate pain without changing the patient's physical exam and the subsequent surgeon's decision.

The investigators also will record any side effects of morphine, any associated surgical complications, and to identify the ultimate diagnosis.
