Minimizing Narcotic Analgesics After Thyroid or Parathyroid Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Acetaminophen 500Mg Cap, Tylenol #3 Oral Tablet, and 1 other intervention for Thyroid Cancer and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 126 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research is being done to better understand and test if the investigators can minimize narcotic medication for controlling pain after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. This research will be performed at Doctors Hospital At Renaissance in the investigators clinic and the perioperative area. Participants will be randomly chosen to receive one of two options for pain management that the investigators are already using in the care of patients after surgery. One option includes a narcotic medication and one option includes a non-narcotic and a narcotic as needed. Participants will be asked to complete a form about the level of pain and how much pain medication was needed after surgery in the hospital and while at home. Participants will not have to do any additional visits to participate in this study. The investigators will obtain the research materials at the same time as the usual care visits around the participants' surgery.
