Official title
Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR)/Acetaminophen vs. Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet) for Acute Pain in Emergency Department Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Oxycodone and Hydrocodone are the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics in the emergency department and in outpatient settings. Both medications have a very high potential for abuse due to the prominence of the euphoric effect (abuse liability) and relative lack of "bad "or "negative" effects (likeability). The highly addictive properties of these medications lead to recurrent ED visits for repetitive dosing and prescribing that may lead to abuse, misuse, development of dependence and addiction, and, most importantly, death due to overdose. In contrast, several research papers demonstrated that administration of MSIR results in similar analgesic efficacy to Oxycodone and Hydrocodone but with significantly less euphoric and rewarding associated effects. In addition, consumption of large doses of MSIR leads to dysphoria, vomiting and sedation ("negative effects"). To the investigators' knowledge, there are no randomized controlled trials in the ED that directly compared analgesic efficacy of MSIR to Percocet
