ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well nonopioid pain management works compared to traditional opioid pain relief after a specific surgery called open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for broken bones, particularly in the collarbone area. The goal is to find a safer way to manage pain after surgery, considering the risks associated with opioid use. Patients involved in the study will be randomly assigned to either receive a nonopioid pain control regimen or the standard opioid treatment. If a patient still experiences pain, they may be given a small prescription of oxycodone for additional relief.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult over 18 years old and scheduled for this type of surgery at one of the participating hospitals. However, certain conditions may exclude you, such as allergies to specific pain medications, a history of substance abuse, or certain medical issues like kidney problems. Throughout the trial, patients will be monitored to ensure their pain is managed effectively, and they will have ongoing support from the medical team if they need help with pain control after going home.
