Official title: Nonopioid Pain Control Regimen After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Traumatic Fractures
Run by Henry Ford Health System · NCT06113211 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a nonopioid pain management plan can help adults recovering from surgery for traumatic fractures feel better and have fewer side effects than using opioids.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 scheduled for primary ORIF following a traumatic fracture.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known allergies to the study medications, a history of narcotics use within the last six months, or certain medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a nonopioid pain control regimen compared to standard opioid pain management in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for traumatic fractures. The study involves a randomized, single-blinded design where adult patients will be assigned to either a nonopioid treatment group or a control group receiving opioids. The aim is to assess postoperative pain control and minimize the side effects associated with opioid use. The trial is conducted at Henry Ford Hospital and West Bloomfield Hospital by fellowship-trained trauma surgeons.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce reliance on opioids for pain management, thereby minimizing the risk of opioid-related side effects and addiction.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using multimodal pain control strategies, suggesting potential success for this approach.
