No-Pill pain control: Opioid-Free approach after prostate surgery
NCT ID NCT05597878
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a combination of non-opioid medicines (ketamine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen) can control pain after robotic prostatectomy as well as standard opioid painkillers. Men aged 40-75 with prostate cancer were randomly assigned to receive either opioids or the opioid-free regimen. The goal was to see if the opioid-free approach provides adequate pain relief without the risks of opioid use.
