This study is looking at how many oxycodone oral tablets are needed for pain relief after laparoscopic hysterectomy (a surgery to remove the uterus through small incisions). Researchers want to see if using a special calculator can help doctors prescribe fewer oxycodone pills compared to standard practice. You could be eligible if you are a woman between 18 and 80 years old and are having a planned laparoscopic hysterectomy. The study aims to find out if using the calculator leads to fewer pills being used by patients. The current status of the study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 12 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to receive either 5 or 16 doses of 5mg oxycodone oral tablets. The study will be single-blinded, meaning you won't know which group you're in, and involves 12 participants.

What's involved

You will be contacted on day 2 and day 7 after surgery to ask about your pain level and how many pills you've taken. Two weeks after surgery, you'll have an office visit to discuss pain and return any unused pills.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

You will be followed for two weeks after surgery, with check-ins on day 2, day 7, and a final office visit at two weeks.
