Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
This single-center, clinical trial is being conducted to determine whether non-narcotic pain regiments are as effective as narcotic-based regiments in reducing post-operative pain in patients undergoing breast reduction in the outpatient setting.
Detailed description
This is a non-blinded, non-inferiority, randomized control trial with the primary outcome of interest being overall pain, with secondary outcomes including adverse effects from pain medications, patient satisfaction with their pain regiment and with their surgery, and the impact of pain on their daily activities. This study is designed to follow one-hundred (100) qualified and consenting patients seeing the PI/surgeon (JMK) at his office at UT Southwestern for their initial operative consultation for macromastia. If patients meet eligibility criteria, they will be offered enrollment in the trial.
Interventions
PROCEDUREMacromastia
Patients with macromastia seeing the principle investigator (PI) (JMK) at his office at the Outpatient Building, which includes the Outpatient Surgery Center (OSC), in the Department of Plastic Surgery clinic at UT-Southwestern for their initial operative consultation for reduction mammaplasty will be offered enrollment in the trial if they are deemed appropriate surgical candidates, based on the PI's clinical judgement and expertise.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Post-operative Pain Questionnaire | Day 0 - Day 7 | Determine the efficacy of non-narcotic pain regiments in patients undergoing breast reduction surgery and compare it to narcotic-based pain regiments in improving post-operative pain in patients undergoing breast reduction surgery. Patients will be asked to rate their pain from a scale of 0 (No Pain) to 10 (Pain as bad as you can imagine). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Post operative Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire: Postoperative Reduction Module Satisfaction with Outcome | Day 0- Day 7 | The following questionnaires will be used to track the patients satisfaction following their procedure: BREAST-Q Postoperative Reduction Module Satisfaction with Outcome. Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction with: Very dissatisfied, Somewhat dissatisfied, Somewhat satisfied or very satisfied. |
| Post operative Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire: Postoperative Module Satisfaction with Information Survey | Day 0- Day 7 | The following questionnaires will be used to track the patients satisfaction following their procedure: BREAST- Q Postoperative Reconstruction Module Satisfaction with Information Survey. Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction with: Very dissatisfied, Somewhat dissatisfied, Somewhat satisfied or very satisfied. |
| Post operative Quality of Life Questionnaire | Day 0- Day 7 | The following questionnaires will be used to track the patients satisfaction following their procedure. The postoperative questions do not have an applicable scale. |
