Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Oxycodone Arm
Patients in this opioid group will receive 15 oral opioid tablets (5 mg oxycodone) Patients will also receive 8 "rescue" medications, in the Oxycodone arm will be placebo "rescue" medications. All participants will also receive the following as part of standard of care:
|
5 mg oxycodone pills every 4-6 hrs if pain level 7 or higher on Numeric rating scale 1-10
Other Names:
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Arm
Patients in placebo group will receive 15 placebo tablets. All patients will also receive 8 "rescue" medications: Patients who randomize to the non-opioid arm will receive 5mg oxycodone "rescue" tablets. All participants will also receive the following as part of standard of care:
|
Placebo tablets (both trial and "rescue") will be matched to size, shape, color, and texture of oxycodone tablets.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain Level: Numeric Rating Scale
Time Frame: Postoperative days 0-6
|
Patients will record pain levels on Numeric Rating Scale 1-10, where 1 is minimal pain and 10 is associated with highest level of pain (worse outcome).
|
Postoperative days 0-6
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Quality of life: Euro Quality of Life Index (Euro QoL 5-D 5-L) EQ-5D
Time Frame: Postoperative days 0-6, 6 weeks post-surgery
|
Quality of life will be measured with the instrument Euro Quality of Life Index (Euro QoL 5-D 5-L) EQ-5D is a standardized measure of health status that measures five dimensions, Mobility, Self-care, Daily activities, Pain/Discomfort, Anxiety/ Depression.
Each dimension can be rated at five levels: from no problems to major problems.
The five dimensions can be summed into a descriptive health state with 11111 representing no problems in any of the five health dimensions and 55555 indicating major problems in any of the five health dimensions.
|
Postoperative days 0-6, 6 weeks post-surgery
|
Change in Pain catastrophizing scale (PCS)
Time Frame: Postoperative days 0-6, 6 weeks post-surgery
|
It will be determined with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS).
Pain catastrophizing is described as "an exaggerated negative mental set brought to bear during actual or anticipated painful experience."
In other words, it is a feeling of helplessness.
The PCS is a 13-item questionnaire that inquires about thoughts and feelings a patient experiences when in pain.
Responses are recorded on a 5-point Likert scale ("not at all" to "all the time").
A total score is yielded ranging from 0-52.
Higher score is associated with worse outcome.
|
Postoperative days 0-6, 6 weeks post-surgery
|
Change in Pain threshold testing
Time Frame: Postoperative days 0-6, 6 weeks post-surgery
|
will be conducted with digital pressure dolorimeter (Wagner Force One Model FDIX 50TM, Wagner Instruments).
Pressure dolorimeters are devices that measure pressure/pain threshold.
The device will be held perpendicular to the areas to be tested.
The force will be increased at a constant rate of 1 kg/cm2.
Patients will be instructed to express pain either by saying "ouch" or raising their hand when pain is felt.
The force read on the digital dolorimeters will be recorded.
This procedure will be repeated 3 times.
Both right and left sides will be tested.
