Official title

Celecoxib Pain Management Following Superficial Parotidectomy: Opioid Sparing Protocol

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether pain can be managed after an operation with celecoxib instead of oxycodone. The main question it aims to answer is if use of celecoxib plus Tylenol reduces the need for oxycodone. Researchers will compare the combination of celecoxib and Tylenol to a placebo to find out whether celecoxib works to manage pain. Participants will: * Take celecoxib, or a placebo, plus Tylenol with opioids as needed * Keep a diary of their pain between visits * Complete questionnaires

Detailed description

Surgeons have a unique opportunity to reduce opioid prescriptions - and therefore potential opioid dependence, morbidity and mortality - by altering prescribing patterns in the perioperative period. This study aims to determine if celecoxib is a viable alternative for acute pain control in the postoperative setting for head and neck surgeries which could significantly reduce the amount of narcotic pain pills in circulation and can be extrapolated to other otolaryngologic procedures.

Interventions

  • Drug Celecoxib
    200mg every 12 hours
  • Drug Tylenol
    650mg q6h
  • Drug Oxycodone

  • Drug placebo
    every 12 hours

Primary outcome measures

  • Number of oxycodone pills taken [Time frame: 7 days]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
