Tibial Fractures Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Palmitoylethanolamide on Reducing Opioid Consumption for Postoperative Pain and Inflammation Following Below Knee Fracture Fixation: A Pilot Study.
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a non-psychoactive cannabis compound derived from peanuts, egg yolks, and soybeans, is an Endogenous FA Amide produced in the body as a biological response and a repair mechanism in chronic inflammation and chronic pain. In animal and clinical trials, PEA has also shown evidence of pain reduction, sleep improvement, and increased joint mobility and function with minimal side-effects. The study team intends to study whether the inclusion of PEA in conjunction with standard post-surgical medications can reduce pain and inflammation while decreasing the number of opioids needed.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the United States sees approximately 492,000 tibial fractures per year. Of that population, there are greater than 70,000 hospitalizations, 800,000 office visits, and 500,000 hospital days attributed annually. This does not include the approximately 250,000 proximal femur fractures that occur in the US annually, which is expected to double by 2050. There are also over 5 million ankle injuries in the US per year at a rate of approximately 187 ankle fractures per 100,000 people. To repair these below knee fractures, patients with severe cases often have an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery to stabilize and heal the broken bone. On average, these patients are seen by physical therapy to determine their safety for going home and if they need any equipment like a walker or crutches. They are discharged with pain medications, such as analgesic opioids and stool softeners. These patients return to clinic in 2 weeks for follow up which involves an exam, suture removal, x-rays, and possibly weight bearing status update. They then return in 1 month for exam, x-rays, and weightbearing status. Finally they return at 3 months for exam, x-rays, and weightbearing status. The study team intends to study whether the inclusion of PEA in conjunction with standard post-surgical medications can reduce pain and inflammation while decreasing the number of opioids needed ;
