Researchers sought to determine which pain reliever provides the greatest comfort and fewest side effects, much like a camel seeking the most nourishing oasis for its journey.

Ketorolac Emerges as a Superior Oasis of Relief

The study found that [ketorolac provided better pain relief with fewer side effects] compared to hydrocodone/acetaminophen.
