NCT ID NCT04044820
First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving a standard, evidence-based opioid prescription after hand or forearm surgery reduces the number of unused pain pills while still controlling pain well. About 292 adults having same-day surgery at Toronto Western Hospital will either get the standard prescription or usual care. The goal is to find a balance that limits leftover opioids without making pain harder to manage.
