Multimodal Pain Management After Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet Orthopedic Hand Surgery: A Randomized Control Trial (NCT06917118)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The main objective of the study is to measure the efficacy of a multimodal postoperative pain regimen consisting of oral acetaminophen and naproxen compared to a traditional opioid-only pain regimen following elective wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) hand surgery in a Hispanic population. The study is a randomized control trial comparing the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing elective WALANT hand surgery performed by a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic hand surgeon (Dr. Christian A. Foy). The study groups are: * Control group: standard pain control with opioids * Experimental group: multimodal non-opioid pain control Study Outcomes are: * VAS pain scores (7 days), * Total opioid usage * Patient satisfaction * Adverse events We hypothesize that patients receiving multimodal pain regimens will report lower opioid use, lower pain scores, and greater satisfaction than patients receiving traditional opioid-only pain management.
