November 18, 2020 updated by: University of Chicago

Opioids Versus Extra Strength Acetaminophen for the Management of Moderate Persistent Non-cancer Pain

To compare the efficacy of long-acting oxycodone to extended-release acetaminophen in older persons with no and mild to moderate cognitive impairment and persistent moderate or higher intensity non-cancer lower extremity arthritis pain; and Describe the association of change in non-cancer pain self-report with an older adults functional status (BPI and WOMAC and brief physical performance measure) and to determine if cognitive status modifies this relationship.
