Patient-Driven Analgesic Protocol Selection for Post-Cesarean Pain Management
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating No choice given, Choice given, and 6 other interventions for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 160 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The ability to predict pain and then apply modified treatment protocols has been limited. Current practice is for physicians to select standard post-operative pain treatment protocols without patient consultation. This study hopes to determine if patient's involvement in analgesic drug/dosage selection can optimize pain relief while minimizing related side effects. This could result in a more patient-centered care model and individualized perioperative analgesic treatment protocols based on patient's preferences, needs and expectations.
