Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to help patients who are prescribed opioids after surgery to reduce the risk of developing opioid use disorder.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults in Massachusetts who are undergoing certain orthopedic surgeries at Brigham and Women's Hospital. It includes both opioid-naïve patients and those with prior opioid use, provided they're not currently using illicit opioids or have a condition requiring opioids post-surgery. Participants must be able to consent and speak English or Spanish.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a comprehensive approach to manage pain after major surgery, aiming to prevent long-term opioid use and addiction. This includes pharmacist-led counseling at discharge, standardized prescribing practices, follow-up visits for pain management, and an app for monitoring pain outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on prevention strategies rather than medication side effects per se, the main risks involve potential privacy concerns with the app data collection and possible stress due to additional follow-up requirements.
