Effect of a Multimodal Pain Regimen on Pain Control, Patient Satisfaction and Narcotic Use in Orthopaedic Trauma Patients

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Post Operative Pain Control

In brief

The study is a prospective, randomized, open-label comparison of a multimodal regimen and a standard, narcotic-based regimen for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing surgery for an operatively indicated, isolated extremity fracture. The investigators will be measuring pain levels, narcotic use, patient satisfaction, patient reported function, adverse events and fracture union. The investigators hypothesize that this multimodal regimen will lead to improved pain, less narcotic use and improved satisfaction as compared to the standard regimen.
