Comparing Perioperative Outcomes in Pain Control (NCT05690282)
Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Multimodal Pain Protocol Versus Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen for Post-Operative Pain Management in Orthopaedic Surgery Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This project consists of a randomized controlled study design. Study candidates will include all patients 18 years or older, who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have an orthopaedic injury requiring surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will be randomized to receive either the multimodal pain management protocol or standard oral hydrocodone-acetaminophen for post-operative pain management. Data on opioid usage, pain control, and functional status will be collected for each participant. After 3 years of data collection, investigators will analyze this data to provide further insight in determining appropriateness of pain regimens that reduce the overall opioid consumption. Given the widespread opioid epidemic, it is imperative to develop alternative means to appropriately manage pain in orthopaedic surgery patients.
