Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Post Operative Pain
Interventions
Drug: Tramadol and Oxycodone
Registration Number
NCT07153003
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tramadol and oxycodone therapy in comparison to oxycodone alone as part of a multimodal pain regimen to reduce postoperative opioid consumption, pain, minimize adverse events and complications for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cumulative opioid consumption during the first 30 days30 days

Total amount of opioid medication taken for the first 30 days following surgery, reported in milligrams (mg)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cumulative opioid consumption during the first 90 days90 days

Total amount of opioid medication taken for the first 90 days following surgery, reported in milligrams (mg)

Postoperative opioid refills within 90 days90 days

Total number of opioid medication refills within 90 days post surgery

Number of unused opioid pills90 days

Total number of unused opioid pills unused after 90 days

Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scoresDaily for 90 days

Pain values reported by participants will be assessed using the 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS line will be 100 mm long with no intermediate delineations. Each end will be marked with "no pain" on the left, and "worst possible pain" on the right. Participants will identify their pain level by indicating a point on the line between each end. That point will be measured from the "No pain" end, and the number of millimeters will be reported as the pain score.

Number of complications90 days

Total number of complications experienced post-operatively, complications include stiffness, VTE, GI hemorrhage, falls, ileus, dizziness, changes in vision, and miosis.

Number of emesis episodes90 days

Postoperative nausea and vomiting will be measured by total number of emesis episodes

Rate of antiemetic use90 days

Total number of times patients require use of antiemetics for nausea or vomiting

Satisfaction survey scores90 days

Patients will be provided with a satisfaction survey 90 days post-surgery. The survey consists of 2 questions rated on a Likert scale measuring understanding and confidence in medication use, and one yes/no question. The Likert scale questions are ranked from "0" - no understanding/low confidence to "10" - full understanding/high confidence. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction with the prescribed opioid therapy plan.

Length of StayPost-operatively, up to 90 days

Total number of days patients stay inpatient
