Multimodal Analgesia With Acetaminophen vs. Narcotics Alone After Hip Arthroscopy

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hip Arthroscopy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03510910
Lead Sponsor
NYU Langone Health
Brief Summary

The purpose of this proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal approach to analgesia for patient's pain after hip arthroscopy and to also assess if this new approach will result in a reduction in post-operative narcotic use.

This study is a single-center, randomized prospective study comparing post-operative pain scores and narcotic consumption between individuals receiving acetaminophen along with a reduced quantity of Percocet (to be used as needed for breakthrough pain) and individuals receiving Percocet only. Both pain management options are considered to be standard of care. Both cohorts will receive aspirin for DVT prophylaxis and celecoxib for heterotopic ossification prophylaxis.

The primary objective of the study are to compare patients' narcotic consumption and reported pain following arthroscopic hip surgery, and determine if acetaminophen can provide adequate pain relief compared to a narcotic medication.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Satisfaction7 days post-surgery

Satisfaction was reported on a Likert-type scale of 1-10 (the higher the score, the higher the satisfaction)

Morphine-equivalent Consumption7 days post-surgery

Amount of oxycodone/acetaminophen (Percocet) in 5mg/325mg doses will be recorded in number of pills

Score on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Pain7 days post-surgery

Pain severity scores at rest will be assessed by use of VAS. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." The higher the score, the worse the pain.
