NCT ID NCT05525975
Summary
This study tested if giving patients education and a prepaid mail-back envelope before shoulder replacement surgery would lead to fewer leftover opioid pain pills. 140 patients were randomly assigned to either receive the standard care or the extra education and disposal kit. Researchers tracked how many pills patients took and how many they safely disposed of after surgery.
