About this study

Patients will be randomized to a video or no video prior to surgery then administered a phone questionnaire at post-op day 7, 30, and 90. The Arkansas Prescriptions Drug Monitoring Database will also be accessed for information on opioid prescription refills. The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the effect that video-based opioid education has on narcotic intake after outpatient surgery. The duration of the study will be approximately 3 months, plus a single 1-hour long focus group if desired by the patient.

Treatment and study plan

video

Other

A 5 minute video on the risks and benefits of opioids, alternative methods to reduce pain, and the proper handling and storage of opioids will be shown.

Primary outcomes

  1. Knowledge of Post Operative Opioids

    Time frame: 7 days

    Knowledge of Post operative Opioids after surgery via 7 day post operative phone call. Knowledge is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being complete knowledge and 1 being no knowledge.

  2. Number of Patients Who Discontinued Opioids by 3 Months

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

    Post-operative pain control as determined by opioid utilization at three months. This is the number of patients that have discontinued opioids at the 3 month mark.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Development of Chronic Opioid Use

    Time frame: 90-150 days

    Feasibility of collecting data on the percentage of patients who develop chronic opioid use. This is measured as the number of patients who received an opioid prescription per the Arkansas prescription drug monitoring database during the 90-150 day period post operatively.

  2. Number of Total Days to Opioid Cessation

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

    Feasibility of collecting data on the number of days until opioid cessation
