This study is designed as a non-inferiority trial comparing a non-opioid post-operative pain control regimen to the standard opioid pain control regimen for post-operative salpingectomy patients. A non-inferiority margin of 2 units was selected, such that the experimental treatment will be considered non-inferior if the lower bound of the confidence interval for the treatment difference remains above a 2 point difference in reported pain scores.
