Opioid-Free pain relief after thumb surgery shows promise in new study

NCT ID NCT04676802

First seen Jun 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026

Summary

This study compares a combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen to the opioid oxycodone for managing pain after thumb surgery (trapeziectomy) for osteoarthritis. About 121 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two pain regimens and tracked for 30 days. The goal is to see if the non-opioid combo can control pain just as well, reducing the risk of opioid addiction.
