Opioid-free pain plan for joint and arm surgeries
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests an opioid-free approach to pain control for certain orthopedic (bone/joint) surgeries. The goal is to help people manage surgical pain without using opioid pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re having an orthopedic surgery (shoulder, finger/hand/wrist/forearm/elbow, or hip/knee/ankle/foot).
- If your arthritis is severe, you’re getting a total joint replacement (like shoulder or another major joint).
- You’ve tried non-surgery options for at least 3 months, such as activity changes, physical therapy, and possibly steroid injections.
- You’re 18 or older and able and willing to give informed consent.
- You can have the study’s pain method, including a nerve block (the doctor must be able to safely use it for you).
- You have blood tests showing your kidney and liver function are safe (they check GFR, ALT, and AST).

This study compares opioid pain medicine with non-opioid pain medicine after arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery. It aims to see which approach controls pain well while keeping side effects and risks lower.
This trial compares two different pain medication plans after major orthopedic surgery. It aims to find which plan helps you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This Phase 3 study tests a pain medicine plan used after preventive surgery to place a metal rod inside the thigh bone (femur) before a fracture happens. The goal is to find an approach that controls post-surgery pain while being safe for the right patients.
This study looks at how much pain medicine (opioids) people actually need after hip arthroscopy and what factors may affect it. It may help improve safer, more personalized pain control after surgery.
This trial tests if using fewer opioids after hip replacement surgery can still control pain well. It uses a specific type of hip replacement called anterior total hip arthroplasty and aims to help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medicines.
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines including a strong opioid pill after surgery for broken bones, spine fusion, or joint replacement. It aims to see how well this combination controls pain and helps recovery.
