{ "Opioid-Free Pain Treatment for Trauma Patients", "This study is looking at different ways to manage pain after surgery for certain broken bones, specifically in the hip and thigh (femoral neck, intertrochanteric, femoral shaft, distal femur, and patella fractures). Researchers want to compare how well pain is controlled using standard pain medications (which can include opioids) versus an \"opioid-free pain treatment\" plan. You might be able to join if you are over 18, are having surgery for one of these fractures at the University of Kansas Hospital, and can give your consent. The main goal is to see how your pain levels change from right after surgery up to 6 months later. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 250 people.", "design": "This is an interventional study that will randomly assign 250 participants into two groups over two six-month periods. One group will receive standard pain management, and the other will receive opioid-free pain management.", "commitments": "You would receive pain treatment as determined by the study protocol, either standard care or opioid-free. Your pain levels will be measured from after surgery up to 6 months later.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Your pain levels will be monitored for up to 6 months after surgery.", }
