Ketorolac for Pain After Hip Arthroscopy

This study is looking at whether ketorolac, a non-opioid pain medication, can manage pain effectively after hip arthroscopy (a type of hip surgery) for femoroacetabular impingement (a hip joint condition). Researchers want to see if ketorolac works as well as or better than standard opioid-based pain medications, and if it can reduce the amount of opioids needed after surgery. You may be able to join if you are an adult (18-89 years old) having hip arthroscopy with Dr. T. Sean Lynch for FAI, can consent, and speak English. The study will measure your pain using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for 5 days after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 100 participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 100 participants. It compares ketorolac to standard pain treatments like hydrocodone-acetaminophen, indomethacin, and diazepam.
What's involved
You would receive either ketorolac or standard pain medications, starting on the day of surgery. Your pain levels will be measured for 5 days after surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your pain will be measured for 5 days after surgery.

What this trial measures

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)5 days

    A validated tool used to help a person rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as pain. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with the far-left end meaning no pain and the far-right end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels. It may be used to help choose the right dose of pain medicine.
