Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Comparison of Adjusted Trajectory Model for Pain Between Oxytocin and Placebo--Intercept
Daily pain intensity report for each subject was fitted using growth curve model with parameters of intercept (modeled initial pain) and slope of change in natural log of time, adjusted for prognostic predictors for oxytocin and placebo group separately. The daily pain intensity was the WORST pain (not the average pain) in the past 24 hr on a scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst imaginable pain.
Values represent an intercept of modeled worst daily pain on the first day after hospital discharge across all participants, extracted from the mixed effect model. The intercept is a number representative of all participants in the Arm and is an estimate with confidence limits based on the model.
Comparison of Adjusted Trajectory Model for Pain Between Oxytocin and Placebo--Slope
Daily pain intensity report for each subject was fitted using growth curve model with parameters of intercept (modeled initial pain) and slope of change in natural log of time, adjusted for prognostic predictors for oxytocin and placebo group separately. The daily pain intensity was the WORST pain in the past 24 hr on a scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst imaginable pain.
Slope is defined as change in pain . Values represent the slope of modeled worst daily pain (0-10 scale as described above) divided by the natural log of time (days) across all participants, extracted from the mixed effect model. The slope is a number representative of all participants in the Arm and is an estimate with confidence limits based on the model.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Comparison of Adjusted Trajectory Model for Daily Steps Between Oxytocin and Placebo--Intercept
Daily steps for each subject were fitted using growth curve model with parameters of intercept (modeled initial steps) and slope of change in natural log of time, adjusted for prognostic predictors for oxytocin and placebo group separately. This is considered as the modeled change in activity listed in the protocol.
Values represent an intercept of modeled daily steps on the first day after hospital discharge across all participants, extracted from the mixed effect model. The intercept is a number representative of all participants in the Arm and is an estimate with confidence limits based on the model.

Comparison of Adjusted Trajectory Model for World Health Organization Disability Assessment Score 2.0 Value Between Oxytocin and Placebo--Intercept
Weekly World Health Organization Disability Assessment Score 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) value for each subject was fitted using growth curve model with parameters of intercept (modeled initial score) and slope of change in natural log of time, adjusted for prognostic predictors for oxytocin and placebo group separately. Scale is 12 to 36 with higher scores meaning greater disability.
Values represent an intercept of modeled WHODAS 2.0 score one week after hospital discharge across all participants, extracted from the mixed effect model. The intercept is a number representative of all participants in the Arm and is an estimate with confidence limits based on the model.

Comparison of Adjusted Trajectory Model for Probability of Taking Opioids Daily Between Oxytocin and Placebo--Intercept
Daily probability of taking opioids for each subject was fitted using growth curve model with parameters of intercept (modeled initial pain) and slope of change in natural log of time, adjusted for prognostic predictors for oxytocin and placebo group separately.
Values represent an intercept of modeled probability of taking opioid, on a 0-1 probability scale, on the first day after hospital discharge across all participants, extracted from the mixed effect model. The intercept is a number representative of all participants in the Arm and is an estimate with standard deviation based on the model.

Iowa Gambling Task
This is a computer based card game which assesses risk taking and impulsivity in which a score of -100 to 100 is calculated. Lower numbers indicate greater impulsiivity
Wisconsin Card Sort Task
This is a physical card sorting game which measures attention to shifts in implicit rules as the game progresses. Perseverative errors are the number of sequential errors when rules of the game shift and reflect dysfunction of attention. This score ranges from 0 to 64 with larger numbers reflecting more dysfunction of attention.
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia
This 17-question scale assesses the degree of fear of pain from joint movement and is commonly used in orthopedic injury or surgery studies. The scale ranges from 17 to 68 with 17 indicating no fear of movement and 68 indicating severe fear.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intrathecal oxytocin on speed of reduction in pain for the first 60 days after hip surgery.
Detailed Description
This is a single-center, NIH funded clinical study at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. The investigators anticipate that intrathecal oxytocin will speed recovery from pain after major surgery (hip arthroplasty). For this study, the investigators will use a randomized, controlled and blinded study of intrathecal oxytocin in patients scheduled for hip arthroplasty, with primary outcome being the slope of change in pain over the first 60 days following surgery, using growth curve modeling and a ln(time) function.
