Evaluation of Pre-operative Education Modalities to Decrease Opioid Use in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This is a triple-armed, randomized, controlled, non-blinded trial to study the effect of preoperative patient education in conjunction with a limited opioid peri-operative analgesia program on post-operative opioid use following radical prostatectomy. Patients will be randomized into three education arms: usual care (variable provider-dependent education), text handout, or text handout and pre-recorded video. The impact of patient education on outcomes of in-hospital, post-discharge, and persistent opioid use will be studied.
