Personalized Post-Operative Pain Management

Phase 4
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Persistent Post Operative Opioid Use
Post-surgical Pain
Interventions
Other: PGx guided personalized post-operative pain management
Registration Number
NCT06669650
Lead Sponsor
University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine
Brief Summary

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does perioperative PGx personalized opiate therapy reduce persistent post-operative opioid use dependency, improve pain management and reduce opiate related adverse events in opioid naïve patients after surgery?

Participants will:

Take hydromorphone if the PGx results determine they have a SNP indicating high or low metabolic activity in the CYP2D6 enzyme.

Complete a 7-day pain diary post-discharge. Complete a follow-up phone call once per month for 90 days.

Standard post-operative pain management (control)PGx guided personalized post-operative pain managementPatients in the control groups will follow the current hospital standard of care and receive oxycodone 5mg every 4 hours as needed for moderate pain and oxycodone 10mg every four hours as needed for severe pain.
Standard post-operative pain management (control)OxycodonePatients in the control groups will follow the current hospital standard of care and receive oxycodone 5mg every 4 hours as needed for moderate pain and oxycodone 10mg every four hours as needed for severe pain.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) guided treatment (hydromorphone)PGx guided personalized post-operative pain managementPatients who are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers or rapid CYP2D6 metabolizers with moderate or severe pain, will be prescribed either oral hydromorphone 2mg every 4 hours as needed or oral hydromorphone 4mg every 4 hours as needed, respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Persistent Post-Operative Opioid Use90 days

To determine the overall difference in the number of post-operative opioid prescriptions in 90 days using PGx guided post operative medication

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-Surgical Pain7 days

To determine if PGx guided medication improves post-operative pain scores compared to similar patients who are given the standard current post operative opiate treatment. The scores are being rated using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability scale ranging from a minimum value of 0 to a maximum value of 10.
