- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an opioid-sparing postoperative pain regimen can reduce opioid consumption and maintain effective pain control in adults undergoing anterior total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does an opioid-limited regimen result in lower postoperative opioid use compared with a standard opioid prescription?
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
