Postoperative Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
STandard Versus No Opioid Prescription After Prolapse and Anti-INcontinence Surgery: A Randomized Controlled, Non-inferiority Trial
Overprescribing opioids is considered a major contributor to the opioid crisis. Hill et al. demonstrated that within a general surgery practice, over 70% of the prescribed opioid pills were never taken. Disturbingly, 45% of patients who did not take opioids at all on their day of discharge were discharged with an opioid prescription (Chen et al). Recent initiatives have attempted to utilize restrictive opioid prescribing protocols for postoperative pain management in which patients were prescribed a limited number of opioid tablets (Hallway et al) or prescribed opioids only if they were used as an inpatient (Mark et al). These well-conducted studies show that restrictive opioid prescribing policies achieve the goal of reducing excess opioid exposure without causing undue harm, inconvenience or dissatisfaction among patients. The objective of this study is to determine if a restrictive opioid prescription protocol (in which patients are not prescribed postoperative opioids unless they request them) is acceptable to patients after ambulatory and major urogynecologic surgery, compared to standard opioid prescribing practices. The study investigators believe that physicians can capitalize on the new ability to electronically prescribe opioids for patients who require them, to prevent over-prescribing without impacting patient care. The study also intends to describe postoperative opioid use patterns in the urogynecologic population, including factors predictive of opioid use and non-use. The results of this research will have a significant and timely impact by helping to reduce opioid overprescribing and informing future prescribing guidelines in the field of urogynecology.
Specific Aims Aim 1. To compare patient satisfaction and pain control using two different opioid prescribing protocols. The study investigators hypothesize that postoperative pain control and satisfaction will be non-inferior between patients not routinely prescribed opioids after surgery and those prescribed a standard quantity. Participants will be asked to rate their pain control during the first 7 postoperative days with validated questionnaires. Participants' satisfaction with pain control will be evaluated at their postoperative visit. Aim 2. To examine opioid use patterns after ambulatory and major urogynecologic surgery. The study investigators hypothesize that most postoperative patients will use few or no opioids after urogynecologic surgery, regardless of prescribing protocol. All participants will receive thorough counseling with detailed instructions on non-opioid pain management, as well as multimodal analgesia via ERAS protocol during the perioperative period. Participants will be asked to log their opioid and non-opioid medication use in the first postoperative week. The investigators will also assess the number of requests for opioid prescription (in those randomized to the restrictive protocol) and opioid refills (from patients in the standard protocol). Aim 3. To determine patient and perioperative factors associated with opioid use after urogynecologic surgery. The study investigators plan to collect and analyze demographic, clinical and psychometric data on all participants with the goal of predicting analgesic needs and opioid use after urogynecologic surgery. Results from this study will guide surgeons on how to tailor opioid prescriptions to the needs of each patient, based off individual patient and perioperative characteristics. ;
