Randomized, Controlled Cross-over Comparison of Cannabinoid to Oral Opioid for Postoperative Photorefractive Keratectomy Pain Control
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating oral cannabinoid and oral codeine/acetaminophen for Photorefractive Keratectomy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a commonly performed corneal refractive surgery but has significant post-operative pain. Pain medications after PRK are typically opioid-acetaminophen combinations. Alternatives to opioid medication are worth consideration. Patients will receive PRK in each eye sequentially, using the cannabinoid or codeine/acetaminophen for one eye and the other treatment for the fellow eye two weeks later.
