Buprenorphine for pain after ankle fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
