Prospective Pain Study Comparing Different Treatments After Hand Surgery
- Conditions
- Post-operative Pain
- Interventions
- Drug: 5mg of Oxycodone every 6 hours as needed for pain
- Registration Number
- NCT03597308
- Lead Sponsor
- Rothman Institute Orthopaedics
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of three different types of pain medication (Oxycodone - an opioid, Ibuprofen - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, and Acetaminophen - a non-opioid analgesic) in the management of postoperative pain following single soft tissue procedures of the hand and wrist performed exclusively under local anesthesia without sedation. The results of this study will help define optimal prescribing guidelines following the two most common hand surgeries while also potentially validating the use of opioid alternatives post-operatively in order to help mitigate excessive or unnecessary dispensal of opioid analgesics.
