Opioid dispenser after back surgery trial
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a special device that gives you pain medication (opioids) after back surgery, instead of a prescription. It may help you use just the right amount of pain medicine, and you'll use your smartphone for follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are not regularly taking opioids now (or only use them once in a while).
- You are 18 or older.
- You are having a specific type of back surgery (one-level laminectomy or discectomy) through a small incision in your back.
- You plan to go home the same day or stay up to 23 hours, not to a nursing facility.
- You have a smartphone and can use it for video visits.
- You are not pregnant and are not allergic to opioids.
