The Effect of Multimodal Pain Regimen on Use of Narcotics After Rotator Cuff Tear Repair

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand which group of pain control medications work best in adults after rotator cuff surgery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a previously described multimodal pain protocol involving non-narcotic medications compared to the medical center's current postoperative pain regimen mainly involving narcotics will decrease total rescue narcotics used for patients who undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair at Montefiore. The implications of the study would be reduced narcotics consumptions in postoperative patients and improved self-reported patient outcomes. Through this study, the investigator team hopes to develop a pain regimen that alleviates dependence on opioids in postoperative patients without sacrificing patient satisfaction and comfort.
