Description
Misa Okizuka and six co-authors report a 2025 hospital study on pain care after shoulder surgery that avoids opioids. The surgery fixes a torn rotator cuff through small cuts, and opioids are the usual pain choice afterward, yet they raise the risk of nausea and vomiting. The team compared patients given an opioid-free plan built on a common pain drug with patients given opioids.
Records came from one Japanese hospital for surgeries from June 2022 to May 2025. After matching, seventy-eight patients sat in each group. Pain scores did not differ between the groups. But the opioid-free group had far less nausea and vomiting, about five percent against about twenty percent, and needed far fewer extra pain drugs. Stay length was the same. The authors back the opioid-free plan as a sound choice.
