Personalized Post-Operative Pain Management

October 31, 2024 updated by: Trey Henderson, University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine

Personalized Post-Operative Opiate Prescriptions Based on Pharmacogenetics of CytochromeP450, COMT, and OPRM1

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does perioperative PGx personalized opiate therapy reduce persistent post-operative opioid use dependency, improve pain management and reduce opiate related adverse events in opioid naïve patients after surgery?

Participants will:

Take hydromorphone if the PGx results determine they have a SNP indicating high or low metabolic activity in the CYP2D6 enzyme.

Complete a 7-day pain diary post-discharge. Complete a follow-up phone call once per month for 90 days.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Standard post-operative pain management (control)
Patients in the control groups will follow the current hospital standard of care and receive oxycodone 5mg every 4 hours as needed for moderate pain and oxycodone 10mg every four hours as needed for severe pain.
Patients in the intervention group will receive post operative opioid therapy based on their pharmacogenomic results. Patients who are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers or rapid CYP2D6 metabolizers with moderate or severe pain, will be prescribed either oral hydromorphone 2mg every 4 hours as needed or oral hydromorphone 4mg every 4 hours as needed, respectively. Patients who are intermediate or normal CYP2D6 metabolizers with moderate or severe pain will receive oxycodone 5mg or oxycodone 10mg every 4 hours as needed respectively similar to the treatment offered to the control subjects. Normal or intermediate CYP2D6 metabolizers who are concomitantly taking a drug which is a strong CYP2D6 inducer will be treated as if they are in the rapid metabolizer group, and normal or intermediate patients that are concomitantly taking a drug which is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor will be treated as if they were a poor metabolizer.

Experimental: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) guided treatment (hydromorphone)
Patients who are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers or rapid CYP2D6 metabolizers with moderate or severe pain, will be prescribed either oral hydromorphone 2mg every 4 hours as needed or oral hydromorphone 4mg every 4 hours as needed, respectively.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Persistent Post-Operative Opioid Use
Time Frame: 90 days
To determine the overall difference in the number of post-operative opioid prescriptions in 90 days using PGx guided post operative medication
90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-Surgical Pain
Time Frame: 7 days
To determine if PGx guided medication improves post-operative pain scores compared to similar patients who are given the standard current post operative opiate treatment. The scores are being rated using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability scale ranging from a minimum value of 0 to a maximum value of 10.
7 days

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Opioid Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 90 days
To determine if PGx guided medication reduces total opioid related adverse events compared to standard post operative opiate therapy.
