Post-Operative Pain Control in Opioid Tolerant Patients: Fentanyl Challenge Protocol Versus Standard of Care

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Pain, Postoperative

In brief

This study will evaluate the value of dosing pain medications based upon a patient's pre-operative tolerance to pain medications. Study participants will be assigned to one of two groups, a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group will be given pain medications after surgery based upon their measured response to pain medications prior to surgery. The control group will be given pain medications based upon the normal dosing routine as is currently practiced. Both groups will be closely monitored for side effects and have their pain scores recorded for the first 48 hours following surgery.
