In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of different pain control options after hand and wrist surgery, specifically Ketorolac, Tylenol, and a regional nerve block. Ketorolac (Toradol) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is similar to ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil). Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a commonly used over the counter drug. A nerve block is pain medication that is applied directly to the nerves around the surgical site before the surgery and keeps working to reduce pain in the area for several hours after the surgery. All of these medicines and procedures are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patient care. This study aims to understand if using these medicines in combination helps patients having hand and wrist surgery avoid the need for opioid pain medications.
