Can hernia patients skip opioids? major study tests pain relief without addiction risk

NCT ID NCT05929937

Summary

This study is testing whether patients can manage pain just as well without prescription opioid pills after routine hernia repair surgery. It compares two groups: one gets a small opioid prescription, and the other gets only common pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to similar pain control, quality of life, and satisfaction while reducing the risk of opioid dependence.
