Summary
This will be a phase 2, single-center, unblinded randomized controlled pilot trial of two
arms comparing opioid-sparing analgesia to the current Boston Children's Hospital
institutional practice which has been reported to predominantly include administration of
opioids as a first-line analgesic to pediatric patients who present to the emergency
department with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). This is a pilot trial for which many
outcomes have not previously been studied in the pediatric AP population. The focus of this
investigation will be to investigate the magnitude and variability of effect sizes for
designing a future multi-center, double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
