What this trial measures
- Postoperative opioid consumption3 months
compare preoperative pain threshold with postoperative opioid consumption. The pain threshold will be determined using the pressure algometer/dolorimeter. The term "pain threshold" refers to the measurement of the intensity of a physical stimulus that evokes pain. To estimate the pain threshold, physical force using a mechanical stimulus will be applied with increasing intensity until the patient under evaluation refers to a pain sensation. When the patient declares that the pain is too uncomfortable, the algometer will be removed. This device will quantify the amount of force in pounds that the patient can tolerate. This number is designated as the patient's pain threshold. This value will be correlated with opioid consumption, both by self-reporting and by accessing the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP). Opioid consumption will be quantified using milligrams of morphine equivalents (MME).
- Postoperative satisfaction3 months
compare preoperative pain threshold with postoperative satisfaction. The pain threshold will be determined using the pressure algometer/dolorimeter. The term "pain threshold" refers to the measurement of the intensity of a physical stimulus that evokes pain. To estimate the pain threshold, physical force using a mechanical stimulus will be applied with increasing intensity until the patient under evaluation refers to a pain sensation. When the patient declares that the pain is too uncomfortable, the algometer will be removed. This device will quantify the amount of force in pounds that the patient can tolerate. This number is designated as the patient's pain threshold. This value will be correlated with patient satisfaction. Patients will be asked how satisfied they are with their pain control. They can answer on a 1-4 scale, with 1 being the lowest satisfaction and 4 being the highest degree of satisfaction.
- Postoperative return to work3 months
compare preoperative pain threshold with postoperative return to work time in days.
