Nonopioid Pain Control After Fracture Surgery

This study is testing a nonopioid pain control regimen for patients undergoing surgery for traumatic fractures (broken bones). After your surgery, you would either receive standard opioid pain medications or a nonopioid pain control regimen. The goal is to see if the nonopioid regimen can manage pain as effectively as opioids, while minimizing side effects. Researchers will measure your pain scores daily for the first two weeks, then weekly until six weeks after surgery. This study is for adults aged 18 to 80 who are having surgery for a traumatic fracture at Henry Ford Hospital or Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized, single-blinded study comparing two pain management approaches, with a planned enrollment of 75 participants.
What's involved
You would have your pain scores recorded daily for the first two weeks after surgery, and then once a week until your six-week post-operative clinic visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Pain scores will be measured daily for the first 2 weeks, and then once a week until the 6-week post-operative clinic visit.
