About this study
Official title: Opioid Consumption After Orthopaedic Surgery: Prospective Randomized Trial on the Effects of Pre-Operative Counseling
Postoperative pain management and opioid consumption following outpatient orthopaedic surgery may be influenced by a number of variables including knowledge of safe opioid use. A prospective randomized study is designed to understand the effect of preoperative opioid counseling on postoperative opioid consumption and the typical opioid consumption patterns following common outpatient orthopaedic surgeries. The hypothesis was that patients who received preoperative opioid counseling will consume less postoperative opioid medication and experience greater satisfaction with pain management.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Preoperative opioid counselingOther
preoperative counseling consists of education with a brief multi-media presentation in the preoperative area on the day of surgery using a handheld tablet. The message of the preoperative counseling consisted of: 1) Background on the opioid epidemic including basic facts and consequences, 2) Description of risk factors for opioid abuse and how to consume opioids safely, 3) Information on the specific opioid the patient was prescribed and the anticipated amount and duration of use postoperatively, 4) Encouraging the use of non-opioid therapy prior to taking the prescribed opioids or quickly transitioning to non-opioid medications postoperatively, and 5) Contact information and instructions to call if the patient experienced any adverse events and/or if additional pain medication is needed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of pills consumed
Patients asked to keep daily diary which includes number of pills consumed during the post-operative period
Measured: Up to 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Morphine equivalents (MEQ)
MEQs is a standardized method of comparing different types of pain medication with a gold-standard. All pain medication can be converted to MEQs
Measured: Up to 6 weeks
Visual Analog Scale (pain) Pain
Pain as reported by patients on a daily basis via diaries
Measured: Up to 6 weeks
Patient satisfaction with pain management: 5 point Likert Scale
Satisfaction with pain management as reported daily by patients using a 5 point Likert Scale
Measured: Up to 6 weeks

A prospective randomized study is designed to understand the effect of preoperative opioid counseling on postoperative opioid consumption and the typical opioid consumption patterns following common outpatient orthopaedic surgeries.
