What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain scores - collected at baseline (standard of care) and for the study using a study survey on days 3, 7, and 14 after surgery.

    To study if postop ketorolac provides effective pain relief and helps reduce the need to take oxycodone. Participants will complete a short survey on Days 3, 7, and 14 after surgery. Participants will be asked to provide VAS pain scores, on a scale of 1-10, for the past 24 hours on Days 3, 7, and 14 after surgery.

    Measured: From baseline to 14 days after the surgery

  2. Quantitative pain management - measured using a study survey.

    To study if postop ketorolac provides effective pain relief and helps reduce the need to take oxycodone. Participants will complete a short survey on Days 3, 7, and 14 after surgery. The survey will ask the following set of questions-

    • number of pills (oxycodone and/or ketorolac) consumed
    • if the pain medicine(s) needed to be refilled
    • discontinuation date \& reason
    • side effects, if any
    • the effectiveness of the pain medicine(s)
    • preference for ketorolac or oxycodone, if applicable

    Measured: 14 days after the surgery
