Acute Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Acute Pain Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial Examining Opioids and Open Placebo
The goal of the proposed study is to examine the efficacy of using an honest placebo to relieve pain for patients with an acute pain condition. People with acute pain will receive their standard dose of opioid medication for pain management. In addition, some people will be asked to take placebo pills, honestly described as placebos, as well. Patients will answer a few short questions over the phone once per day for seven days about pain and opioid use. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the open label placebo group will take fewer opioids and have less pain than those in the treatment as usual group.
