简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a non-narcotic, postoperative pain management regimen on patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a non-narcotic, postoperative pain management regimen for patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The investigators hypothesize that participants receiving non-narcotic pain regimens will have equivalent pain control and satisfaction to those who receive narcotic pain medicines.
The primary objective will be to identify if there is a difference in average perceived postoperative pain scores between participants who do and do not receive narcotic pain medications. Secondary outcomes will include need for breakthrough pain medications, patient satisfaction scores and the need to call the surgeon office for additional pain medications.
The participant will undergo total thyroidectomy, partial thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy per the standard of care. The study will have no influence on the surgical procedure performed.
Following the surgery, postoperative analgesia regimens will be prescribed based on study randomization.
Narcotic group regimen (63 patients):
