Video-based, Patient-Focused Opioid Education in the Perioperative Period

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Pain Post-Procedural; Opioid Use
• Interventions: Other: Video

• Registration Number: NCT03986866
• Lead Sponsor: University of Arkansas

Brief Summary

This is a pilot study designed to assess the feasibility of using a novel, video-based opioid education tool for opioid naïve ambulatory surgery patients in the perioperative period.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized to a video or no video prior to surgery then administered a phone questionnaire at post-op day 7, 30, and 90. The Arkansas Prescriptions Drug Monitoring Database will also be accessed for information on opioid prescription refills. The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the effect that video-based opioid education has on narcotic intake after outpatient surgery. The duration of the study will be approximately 3 months, plus a single 1-hour long focus group if desired by the patient.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Video	Video	Patients are shown an informational video on the safe usage of opioids.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Knowledge of Post Operative Opioids	7 days	Knowledge of Post operative Opioids after surgery via 7 day post operative phone call. Knowledge is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being complete knowledge and 1 being no knowledge.
Number of Patients Who Discontinued Opioids by 3 Months	Up to 3 months	Post-operative pain control as determined by opioid utilization at three months. This is the number of patients that have discontinued opioids at the 3 month mark.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Development of Chronic Opioid Use	90-150 days	Feasibility of collecting data on the percentage of patients who develop chronic opioid use. This is measured as the number of patients who received an opioid prescription per the Arkansas prescription drug monitoring database during the 90-150 day period post operatively.
Number of Total Days to Opioid Cessation	Up to 3 months	Feasibility of collecting data on the number of days until opioid cessation
