About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Post Operative Pain focused on measuring Opioids, Pain Management, Analgesics

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 99 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult men and non-pregnant women who are at least 18 years of age, who are able to refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery while taking the study medication will be able to participate.
  • Subjects who are English speaking and are able to provide consent will be considered.
  • Subjects must be in generally good health and able to take ibuprofen, paracetamol (acetaminophen), and hydrocodone.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects who self-report the following history will be excluded from participating:

  • Individual under the age of 18
  • History of gastrointestinal bleeding and/or peptic ulcer
  • History of renal disease (excluding kidney stones)
  • History of hepatic disease
  • History of bleeding disorder
  • History of respiratory depression
  • Any prior respiratory effect of an opioid or other anesthetic drug that required respiratory support postoperatively
  • Active or untreated asthma
  • History of known allergic reaction to ibuprofen, acetaminophen, hydrocodone, and/or anesthesia
  • Currently taking any of the following medications:

    • CYP3A4 inhibitor, such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g., ketoconazole), and protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir), which may increase plasma concentrations of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen and prolong opioid adverse reactions, and which may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression
    • CNS depressants.
  • Consumes 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day and/or has a history of alcoholism
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse (excludes marijuana use)
  • Family history of drug or alcohol abuse in a first degree relative
  • Has had one or more opioid prescription filled within the past 6 months

  • Prior participation in this study
  • Inability or refusal to provide informed consent

Pain Interference Scale (Patient Report Outcomes Measurement Information System - PROMIS 6b )
Impact of pain on subject's ability to perform normal daily functions. The sum of six questions rated on a 5 point Likert Scale (1=not at all or never, 2=a little bit or rarely, 3=somewhat or sometimes, 4=quite a bit or often and 5=very much or always) The six questions are: 1) how much did pain interfere with your enjoyment of life, 2) how much did pain interfere with your ability to concentrate, 3) how much did pain interfere with your day to day activities, 4) how much did pain interfere with your enjoyment of recreational activities 5) how much did pain interfere with your tasks away form and home and 6) how often did pain keep you from socializing with others? Minimum = 6, Maximum = 30; lower is better and higher is worse outcome
