How Many Opiates Should be Prescribed for Pain in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Group 1 - Opiate Tablets post Hip Arthroscopy and Group 2 - Opiate Tablets post Hip Arthroscopy for Hip Injuries. Completed, enrolled 111 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if opiates are required to achieve appropriate analgesia after hip arthroscopy in outpatient surgery. The investigators hypothesize that patients are frequently prescribed more opiates than are needed after surgery, resulting in excess medications that are at risk for misuse, diversion and contribution to the opioid epidemic
