Can a simple painkiller combo replace opioids for kids after elbow surgery?
NCT ID NCT03759028
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving children acetaminophen (Tylenol) with ibuprofen (Advil) works as well as acetaminophen with oxycodone for pain after elbow fracture surgery. About 90 children with a specific type of elbow fracture will be randomly assigned to one of the two combinations. Parents and doctors won't know which study drug the child receives. The goal is to see if the non-opioid option controls pain just as well, which could reduce the use of narcotics in children.
