Effect of Ibuprofen on Postoperative Opiate Medication Use and Shoulder Functional Outcomes After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ibuprofen and Placebo for Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This will be a randomized controlled trial to determine if postoperative ibuprofen after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair impacts postoperative opiate medication use, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, shoulder range of motion (ROM), and repair integrity.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients will be randomized using a computer generated number to received either ibuprofen (400mg by mouth every eight hours as needed) versus placebo for post-operative pain control in addition to opiate medication (hydrocodone/acetaminophen). Study doctors or research staff will be given randomly generated treatment allocations within sealed opaque envelopes. Once the patient is screened/qualified in surgery, the envelope will be opened and the patient randomized to the allocated treatment regimen. Patients will be given a two week supply (42 pills total) of either ibuprofen or placebo on the day of surgery upon discharge from the surgery center by a research coordinator.
