Evaluating Pain Control in Postpartum Patients on Opioid Use Disorder Medications
This study is looking at different ways to manage pain after a C-section for women who are also taking medication for opioid use disorder (SUD). Researchers want to see if one pain control method works better than others. The study will compare three approaches: a Transverse Abdominal Plane (TAP) Block with Exparel (a long-acting pain medication), Hydromorphone Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) given through an epidural, and an Epidural local anesthetic infusion. The main goal is to see how pain assessment scores change after surgery. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 35 years old with SUD. The study plans to enroll 20 participants, but its current status is unclear.
