Summary
This research is being done to better understand and test if the investigators can minimize
narcotic medication for controlling pain after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. This research
will be performed at Doctors Hospital At Renaissance in the investigators clinic and the
perioperative area.
Participants will be randomly chosen to receive one of two options for pain management that
the investigators are already using in the care of patients after surgery. One option
includes a narcotic medication and one option includes a non-narcotic and a narcotic as
needed.
Participants will be asked to complete a form about the level of pain and how much pain
medication was needed after surgery in the hospital and while at home. Participants will not
have to do any additional visits to participate in this study. The investigators will obtain
the research materials at the same time as the usual care visits around the participants'
surgery.
