This study will be a pragmatic, prospective cluster randomized trial, where clusters will formed based on sequential 2 week time increments across the study recruitment period.. Patients 18 years or older undergoing ACL reconstruction, open shoulder labrum or rotator cuff surgery, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, proximal or distal patellar realignment surgery, open knee arthrotomy cases (i.e. inside out meniscus repair, osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA), meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT)) at University Center for Ambulatory Surgery, LLC (UOA) will be reviewed for eligibility. Once identified, potential study subjects will be asked whether they are interested in participating in the project. If the patient agrees, the subject will be given the informed consent to read and sign. 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.

This study is part of the HEAL Initiative supported by the NIH. The purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study drug, SBS-147, is and how people's bodies respond to and process it. Researchers will also look for any side effects that may occur when taking SBS-147. Some participants will receive SBS-147, and others will receive a placebo, which looks the same but does not contain any medicine. This helps researchers fairly compare results. The study includes two parts: Single-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo one time. Multiple-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo once or twice daily for 7 days.

This prospective, single-arm feasibility study will evaluate postoperative pain control, opioid use, and early recovery outcomes in adult patients undergoing elective outpatient facial plastic surgery who receive suzetrigine as part of their standard postoperative analgesic regimen.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate if corticosteroid (prednisone) after ureteroscopy and placement of the stent will help alleviate postoperative pain control in addition to other normal postoperative pain medications

Ketorolac is a medication often used to relieve pain after surgery. In the past, infertility doctors have been cautious about using ketorolac after egg retrieval for patients planning a fresh embryo transfer (usually done 5 days later). The concern was that ketorolac might increase the risk of bleeding or reduce the chances of the embryo implanting in the uterus. This concern comes from how ketorolac works-it blocks certain chemicals in the body (like prostaglandins and thromboxane) that help with blood clotting and play a role in early pregnancy. However, a large review of past studies found no real evidence that ketorolac increases bleeding risk. In fact, ketorolac is now routinely used for pain relief in IVF cycles where embryos are frozen and not transferred right away. More recent studies from Boston and Chapel Hill have shown that ketorolac provides better pain control and does not appear to harm IVF outcomes, even when embryos are transferred fresh (within the same cycle). Despite these encouraging findings, many IVF clinics still avoid using ketorolac during fresh cycles because of the theoretical concerns. That's why we need stronger, higher-quality research. This study aims to fill that gap by conducting a double-blind randomized controlled trial to find out whether giving ketorolac through an IV after egg retrieval affects important IVF outcomes-especially the chance of implantation and live birth-in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfers. Patients who choose to join the study will randomly be placed into one of two groups. One group will get ketorolac (a pain medicine) after an IVF egg retrieval. The other group will not get ketorolac after egg retrieval. Everything else in their IVF care will stay the same as it normally would. Primary outcome will be implantation rate following fresh embryo transfers in patients receiving ketorolac (30mg IV) vs no ketorolac for post-retrieval analgesia. Secondary outcomes will include pain scale, narcotics required, time to discharge, need for evaluation w/in 24 hours for pain/bleeding, clinical pregnancy rates, miscarriage rates, and live birth rates following fresh embryo transfers in patients receiving ketorolac vs no ketorolac for post-retrieval analgesia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tramadol and oxycodone therapy in comparison to oxycodone alone as part of a multimodal pain regimen to reduce postoperative opioid consumption, pain, minimize adverse events and complications for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of a tailored physical therapy (PT) intervention targeting Abdominal Core Health components in patients recovering from ventral hernia repair. The study focuses on patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with a ventral transverse hernia between 4 cm and 10 cm, scheduled for elective Ventral Hernia Repair (VHR). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will tailored PT significantly improve abdominal core strength, biomechanical stability, and functional mobility compared to usual care at 3-months post-surgery? * Will tailored PT lead to higher patient-reported quality of life and satisfaction scores, with a lower incidence of post-operative complications such as bowel obstruction and pelvic floor dysfunction over a 1-year follow-up? * Will tailored PT result in decreased healthcare utilization, leading to overall cost savings or neutrality compared to usual care over the first year after VHR? Researchers will compare the tailored physical therapy group to a usual care group to see if the tailored intervention leads to significant improvements in clinical efficacy, patient outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the Usual Care Group or the PT Group. * If in the Usual Care Group, receive standard post-operative instructions for 12 weeks, including guidance on binder use, safe lifting, and gradual return to activities. * If in the PT Group, receive foundational post-operative instructions for the first 2 weeks (similar to usual care). Undergo 6 structured and individualized PT sessions over 10 weeks if in the PT Group, with progression based on Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) scores, including Symptom Modulation, Movement Control, Functional Optimization, or Impairment-Based interventions. Participants undergo data collection at 2 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year post-operation, including imaging, functional mobility tests, pain scales, patient-reported outcomes, physical measurements, and tracking of complications and healthcare utilization. Participate in semi-structured interviews after the 12-week assessment to provide qualitative insights into their experiences and perceived barriers/facilitators.

The goal of this randomized study looks at whether giving patients a medicine called acetazolamide (also called Diamox) before they have laparoscopic hysterectomy may decrease postoperative pain. Researchers will compare acetazolamide to a placebo or inactive drug, to see if acetazolamide helps the pain that may occur after surgery from the gas used in the abdomen during the laparoscopic procedure. Patients will be asked to rate their pain before surgery and after surgery through 24 hours.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation use on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and opioid consumption following total knee arthroplasty. This is a randomized study that will involve a 1:1 randomization to total knee arthroplasty +/- cryoablation.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of lidocaine infusion on intraoperative neuromonitoring in patients undergoing spine surgery.

Double blind, double dummy trial of the use of IV acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that better pain control and less use of narcotics will lead to a lower incidence of delirium from day 1 to 7 following cardiac surgery. Other important secondary outcomes are the total use of narcotics, ICU and hospital stay, improved cognitive function at 6 months and 1 year post surgery, NSAID use at each centre and associated NSAID complications.

North America is experiencing a crisis of opioid use and abuse, partially caused by excessive prescribing by doctors. People often receive their first opioid prescription for pain treatment after outpatient breast surgery (i.e., surgery to remove all or parts of the breast(s), where patients leave the hospital the same day). Many patients misuse these drugs and become addicted. Additionally, many of the opioid pills prescribed to patients are left unused and may be misused by family members, friends, or other community members. To prevent this problem, surgeons can avoid prescribing opioids by prioritizing opioid-free analgesia (i.e., pain treatment using only non-opioid interventions). Prescribing only non-opioid pain medications after surgery is very common in many countries outside of North America; however, few studies have assessed whether opioid-free analgesia is as effective as opioid analgesia after breast surgery. Therefore, the main question driving this study is: For patients who undergo outpatient breast surgery, is pain treatment without opioids as good as pain treatment with opioids? The proposed trial will compare two groups of patients: one group will receive opioids to treat pain after surgery, while the other group will receive only non-opioid medications. The impact of these different medication strategies will be measured on pain intensity, pain interference with daily activities, medication side effects, and other outcomes. An expert team of scientists, surgeons, pain specialists, nurses, and patients has been assembled to maximize the success of this study. The results will provide important information to guide surgeons' decisions to prescribe (or not to prescribe) opioids. If opioid-free analgesia is found to be effective, doctors may be able to substantially reduce opioid prescribing after breast surgery and prevent more people from misusing opioids.
