Run by Henry Ford Health System · NCT03825809 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a nonopioid pain management approach can help adults recovering from shoulder surgery feel less pain compared to the usual opioid treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 scheduled for primary or revision labral surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of narcotic use within the last 6 months or those with specific medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial compares postoperative pain control in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair by evaluating two treatment approaches: a nonopioid pain control regimen and a standard opioid pain control regimen. Adult patients over 18 years old who are scheduled for primary or revision labral surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Pain levels will be assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and PROMIS metrics at various postoperative intervals. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of nonopioid analgesia in managing pain after surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide an effective nonopioid alternative for pain management, reducing reliance on narcotics post-surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in using nonopioid analgesics for pain management in similar surgical contexts, suggesting potential success for this approach.
