PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL COMPARING OXYCODONE, IBUPROFEN AND ACETAMINOPHEN AFTER WIDE AWAKE HAND SURGERY
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of three different types of pain
medication (Oxycodone - an opioid, Ibuprofen - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, and
Acetaminophen - a non-opioid analgesic) in the management of postoperative pain following
single soft tissue procedures of the hand and wrist performed exclusively under local
anesthesia without sedation. The results of this study will help define optimal prescribing
guidelines following the two most common hand surgeries while also potentially validating the
use of opioid alternatives post-operatively in order to help mitigate excessive or
unnecessary dispensal of opioid analgesics.
