Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had surgery to fix a broken bone (like in your leg, hip, pelvis, or arm) by an orthopedic trauma doctor at the University of Kansas Hospital.
- You do not have a head injury or confusion from narcotics that prevents you from making decisions.
- You have not been using opioids (strong painkillers like OxyContin) regularly for a long time.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have serious kidney or liver disease (if you do, you can only be in the standard opioid group).

This trial tests a combination of non-opioid medications to manage pain after surgery for a broken bone, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of opioids. It may help you control pain without the risks of strong painkillers.
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.
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.
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 trial tests if adding an extra nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to the standard block inside the thigh (adductor canal) provides better pain relief after specific knee surgeries. It aims to help patients recover with less opioid use.
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
