Official title
How Many Opiates Should we Prescribe for Pain in Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroscopies and ACL Reconstructions?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is to determine if opiates are required to achieve adequate analgesia after knee arthroscopy and ACL reconstruction in outpatient surgery. The investigators hypothesize that patients are frequently prescribed more opiates than are needed after surgery, resulting in excess medications that are at risk for misuse, diversion and contribution to the opioid epidemic.
