Can Immediate Post-injury Fluoxetine Improve the Recovery Trajectories of Victims in Bodily Trauma? (NCT06046859)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

With this prospective double-blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial we hypothesize that immediate (post-injury) intervention with Fluoxetine will prevent/mitigate the development of negative psychiatric symptomology such as PTSD and depression for victims of bodily trauma. We also hypothesize that immediate use of Fluoxetine will decrease subjects' pain, pain interference and opioid use without changing our standard of care post-injury pain medication regimen. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to Fluoxetine or placebo at their index hospitalization.
