Can sugar pills cut painkiller use after surgery?

NCT ID NCT07373210

Summary

This study is testing whether taking open-label placebo pills (sugar pills that patients know are placebos) alongside standard pain medication can help reduce opioid use after hip surgery. Researchers will enroll 64 teens and young adults undergoing a specific hip procedure and randomly assign them to receive either the placebo plus usual care or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if the placebo group uses fewer opioid painkillers and reports less pain during their six-week recovery.
