New approach aims to curb opioid dependence after common surgeries
NCT ID NCT06780202
Summary
This study is testing whether a short, low-dose course of steroids (methylprednisolone) can help patients manage pain after foot or ankle surgery with fewer opioid painkillers. Researchers will enroll 180 patients to see if the steroid pack reduces pain, nausea, and overall opioid consumption in the days following surgery. The goal is to find safer pain management options to help address the risks of opioid addiction.
