Brief summary

To compare suzetrigine versus hydrocodone/acetaminophen for postoperative pain control following dermatologic surgery.

Detailed description

This study is a randomized, controlled trial that is evaluating the safety and efficacy of suzetrigine as a postoperative pain medication compared to the standard of care Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) who are at high-risk for postoperative pain and opioid use. The goal is to reduce opioid prescription use and give patients a non-opioid pain medication option for particularly painful surgeries. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups, one group will receive the interventional medication and the other the standard of care medication.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in need for opioid medication for pain management after Mohs micrographic surgery48hours post surgeryChange in mean visual analog scale (VAS; 0-10) pain scores at 24 and 48 hours after surgery with a minimal change in pain score of 1.0 points.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

Rescue pain management use48hours post surgeryChanges in need to use rescue medication for pain management
Adverse Events3 days after surgeryEvaluation of occurence of adverse events (irregular heart beat, abnormal blood pressure, change in consciousness, or need for urgent care or emergency room visit in the first 3 days after surgery).
