About this study

Official title: Multimodal Analgesia With NSAID vs. Narcotics Alone for Post-operative Meniscectomy: A Prospective Observational Study

This will be a single-center, prospective observational study. The study will compare post-operative pain scores and narcotic consumption between two groups of patients - one cohort will receive ibuprofen (Motrin) and Percocet (to be used as needed) while the other cohort will receive only Percocet. Both pain management options are considered to be standard of care.

The primary objective of the study is to compare patients' reported pain and narcotic use following meniscectomy, and determine if NSAIDs can provide adequate pain relief.

Being tested
Ibuprofen 600 mg, standard oxycodone/acetaminophen

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score

    Scale consisting of a drawn line from 0 to 100 - you will be asked to mark where you believe your pain is (100 being worse pain).

    Measured: 4 Hours

  2. Pain Verbal Rating Scale

    Verbal rating scale, consisting of 4 points (0 = no pain, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe).

    Measured: 4 Hours
