简要总结
This study will be a randomized control trial providing an educational component to study participants and a pre-operative and post-operative survey with a goal to show an improvement in pain control, decrease in narcotic use, and increase in patient knowledge in the study group.
详细描述
The use of opioid pain medications in surgical patients is contributing to an epidemic of opioid pain medication use. It is known that the quality of pain control after surgery is a large factor of the patient's perception of their experience. However, little research has been done to improve pain control in plastic surgery patients. To the investigators knowledge, no study has yet looked at education of breast surgery patients to improve pain experience. The study goal is to survey breast surgery patients in the Plastic Surgery department before and after surgery to evaluate the participants experience with pain and pain medications. Half of the participants in the study will be randomized to receive an information sheet about pain control at the participants pre-operative appointment.
