Pilot Study: Effect of Dexamethasone vs Vicodin in Reducing Post-operative Pain

Study Description
Brief Summary:

The main objective of the pilot study is to investigate the process that includes recruitment (to estimate the rate of enrollment), feasibility, protocol refinement, and willingness of the subject to be randomized. To provide a sample estimate of the population parameter which is the true value in the target population to be used in the planning of a larger confirmatory study.

Secondary objectives include:

To examine the efficacy of pre/post-operational administration of dexamethasone vs Vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) for post-operative pain control following periodontal surgery at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.

To examine how BMI alters the response to dexamethasone and hydrocodone following periodontal surgery since obese patients have shown higher pain scores and increased pain sensitivity in previous experimental models of pain.

Official Title: The Effect of Dexamethasone vs Vicodin in Reducing Post-operative Pain After Periodontal Surgery Among Patients at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine Pilot Study
Estimated Study Start Date : February 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : May 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : May 2021
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dexamethasone
Participants in this arm will take a 6mg dexamethasone tablet the day before surgery, a 6 mg tablet the day of surgery, a 4mg tablet the day after surgery and a 2mg tablet the second day after surgery. Pain scores will be recorded the evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery.
Drug: Dexamethasone
In addition to taking one tablet of dexamethasone for pain beginning the day before surgery and on the day of surgery, pain scores will be recorded the evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery.
Other Name: corticosteroid

Active Comparator: Vicodin
Participants in this arm will take a vicodin tablet every 4-6 hrs as needed to a maximum of 8 tablets after surgery. Each tablet has 300 mg acetaminophen and 5 mg hydrocodone. Pain scores will be recorded the evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery.
Drug: Vicodin
In addition to taking one tablet of vicodin for pain every 4-6 hours up to 8 tablets, pain scores will be recorded the evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery.
Other Name: acetaminophen and hydrocodone

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Study enrollment rate of eligible participants [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The proportion of patients that provide consent for the study


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with breakthrough pain [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery ]
  2. Number medications taken for breakthrough pain [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery ]
  3. Medications taken for breakthrough pain [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery ]

  • Number of participants with breakthrough pain [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery ]
  • Post oral surgery pain perception by the patient using NRS [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery, one week after the surgery ]
  • Post oral surgery pain perception by the patient using VSR-4 [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery, one week after the surgery ]
  • Impact of BMI on pain perception [ Time Frame: evening of the surgery, the day after the surgery and one week after the surgery ]
    BMI is the weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Body mass index will be categorized as non-obese (BMI < 30kg/m2) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and pain scores will be stratified and adjusted for the BMI.
