Pain Relief After Trapeziectomy: Ibuprofen & Acetaminophen Versus Oxycodone (NCT04676802)
Pain Relief After Trapeziectomy Without Opioids: Ibuprofen & Acetaminophen Versus Oxycodone
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
In the US, pain management after surgery for surgical treatment of osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb typically consists of prescription opioids during the early recovery phase. Given the highly addictive nature of prescription opioids, guidelines are being evaluated by hand surgeons to reduce opioid use while still maintaining pain control after surgery. A promising approach is to use non-narcotic medication as the first line of treatment. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of a combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen and acetaminophen, in comparison to a morphine analogue substance (oxycodone) for pain management in the first 30 days after surgery.
