Evaluating pain management after laparoscopic tubal sterilization

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates patient-reported post-operative pain scores following minimally invasive tubal sterilization procedures. It aims to determine if a multimodal, non-opioid pain control regimen is as effective as a regimen that includes opioids. The hypothesis is that with proper counseling and the use of non-opioid medications, the need for opioid prescriptions can be eliminated after laparoscopic salpingectomy. Participants will receive either acetaminophen and ibuprofen or oxycodone for pain management.
