Materials and Methods
This was an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial at 2 tertiary medical centers. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT03052816) and institutional review board approval was obtained at both sites. Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials guidelines were adhered to for study reporting.17 All recruited patients were from the Division of FPMRS at the respective institution.
Patients were enrolled in the study if they consented to study
Results
Between April 2017 and April 2018, 138 women who were scheduled for vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery were assessed for eligibility. Seventy-two patients were excluded; 55 patients did not meet inclusion criteria and 17 patients chose not to participate after the study was explained to them.
Sixty-six patients were randomized to the ICE-T or Standard protocols. Of the 33 patients who were randomized to the ICE-T regimen, 3 were excluded after randomization. One of the excluded patients was
Comment
The current opioid crisis and patterns of postoperative prescription narcotic use in the United States warrant a closer look at postsurgical pain control. Although growing, there is limited prospective data in FPMRS focusing on not only postsurgical pain control requirements but also pain control regimens that would limit narcotic use. The goal of this study was to determine whether the ICE-T postoperative pain control regimen had improved postsurgical pain control, satisfaction, quality of
