Midazolam for Mild to moderate pain
Adult dosing has a median of 2 mg across 13 published protocols, with the middle half between 2 and 2.5.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
