Continuous Infusion Pump Versus Single Shot Peripheral Block for Pain Management After Same-day Orthopaedic Surgery

Status: Recruiting

Location: See location...

Intervention Type: Device, Drug

Study Type: Interventional

Study Phase: Phase 4

SUMMARY

Objectives: The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of postoperative infusion pain pump versus preoperative nerve block in reducing visual analog pain scores/numerical pain rating scale (VAS/NPRS) in the postoperative period. The second objective is to evaluate the requirement of narcotic and non-narcotic analgesic medications between the two groups. Hypotheses: Use of continuous infusion pain pump or single shot peripheral block will result in similar post-operative pain control after outpatient sports medicine surgical cases.
