A Mobile Application for Post-op Analgesic Consumption

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Surgical extraction of third molars is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed by oral surgeons. The prescription of postoperative narcotic and NSAID analgesics is the standard of care practice to relieve symptoms of pain, swelling, and trismus after these procedures. The majority of these patients do not return for follow up unless they experience a problem. There is limited data on whether the patients use the narcotics as directed and what is their practice of disposal of the remaining medications that were not consumed.

In this research the effectiveness of postop analgesic consumption, analgesic disposal practice, pain control, and patient satisfaction will be compared between patients who are randomized to the intervention group who will use a developed mobile application and a control group who will not use the mobile app.

Clinical Trial Description

A pilot randomized clinical trial will be conducted to determine if use of a mobile application improves adherence to narcotic analgesic use and their disposal and patient satisfaction post-surgical extraction of third molars in an outpatient setting. Eligible consented subjects will be randomized into either the mobile app group or the control group. Both groups will receive standard of care which includes prescription of postoperative narcotic and NSAID analgesics and usual postoperative instructions.For the mobile group, the Medable Axon Software developed by Stanford University will be used to customize a mobile application that will be used one week post surgery to monitor postoperative analgesic consumption and disposal practices, pain control, and patient satisfaction, In the control group, case report forms will be used to gather data from the electronic medical records and a telephone survey will be done one week post surgery to obtain data on patient satisfaction. A total of 20 consecutive eligible patients will be enrolled in this pilot trial.. ;
