NOPIOiDS Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether patients who are given a non-opioid painkiller after surgery have less pain and are less likely to use opioids later on.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients undergoing major urologic cancer surgeries like prostatectomy, cystectomy, or nephrectomy. It's open to those who can have surgery either through traditional (open) methods or minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic/robotic). People with allergies or intolerance to NSAIDs may not participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to eliminate opioid prescriptions at discharge after major urologic surgeries. The focus is on whether patients can recover without opioids and avoid the risk of developing a habit or persistent use associated with postoperative pain management.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves not prescribing opioids, there are no direct side effects from medications being tested. However, participants might experience different levels of postoperative pain managed by alternatives to opioids.
