Randomized Controlled TrialThe use of a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic sleep-aid (Zolpidem) in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Previous studies have addressed post-operative pain management after ACL reconstruction by examining the use of intra-articular analgesia and/or modification of anesthesia techniques. To our knowledge, however, no previous studies have evaluated the effect of zolpidem on post-operative narcotic requirements, pain, and fatigue in patients undergoing outpatient arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this prospective, blinded, randomized, controlled clinical study was to evaluate the effect of zolpidem on post-operative narcotic requirements, pain, and fatigue in patients undergoing outpatient arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. ⋯ Randomized controlled clinical trial, Level I.

Adherence and long-term effect of oxycodone/paracetamol in chronic noncancer pain: a retrospective study.
Long-term administration of opiates in patients with chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) is subject to debate due to insufficient clinical evidence to support efficacy and tolerability. ⋯ The results of this study support the hypothesis that an opiate-based combination at low doses improves tolerability and adherence and results in patients obtaining long-term efficacy. Larger studies of the use of opiates in this setting and clinical monitoring on the regional and national level may convince clinicians to view opiates as efficacious analgesics and not as dangerous substances of abuse.
