Study Overview

Brief Summary

This proposal aims to measure the quality of recovery and quality of pain management after shoulder surgery before and after implementation of a multimodal pain protocol.

Detailed Description

Pain management after shoulder surgery remains to be a major challenge. Reliance on a single agent (most commonly opioids) results in increased incidence of side effects. Multimodal pain management refers to the use of multiple drugs that target different components of pain pathway.
