Official Title: The Effects of Combination Therapy of Opioids Versus Non-Opioids on Postoperative Pain Management After Knee Arthroscopic Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to look at pain management with opioids versus non-opioids after knee arthroscopy.
This study will determine 1) whether the most commonly used non-narcotic medications provide pain relief comparable with the most commonly prescribed narcotic medications in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, and 2) whether patients' characteristics (gender, pre-operative knee symptoms, workers compensation status and employment status) affect pain level following surgery or medication usage.
