Comparison of Tramacet Versus Percocet in Post Surgical Patients

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Opioid naive patients are randomized to receive either TRAMACET or PERCOCET at the time of discharge following mild to moderate pain risk surgery. The following will be assessed: 1) Brief pain inventory (BPI) for the month. 2) Post operative pain management satisfaction. 3) Whether they sought any repeat opioid prescription. 4) Whether they intend to seek repeat opioid prescription. It is expected that both groups will have similar pain outcomes but those patients in the Percocet group will be more likely to seek a second prescription.
