Summary

This study tests whether a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac) can reduce the need for opioid painkillers after a minimally invasive elbow procedure. 92 adults with chronic elbow pain will receive either diclofenac or tramadol, with rescue medication available. The goal is to see if patients can manage pain with fewer narcotics.
