The purpose of this study was to determine if perioperative administration of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen and/or IV ketorolac decreases postoperative pain and opioid consumption after endoscopic carpal tunnel release. Methods In all, 44 subjects were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study from October 2015 to April 2017 and divided into 4 treatment arms placebo, IV acetaminophen, IV ketorolac, or both IV acetaminophen and IV ketorolac. Patients recorded pain at 8-hour intervals on an 11-point scale and daily opioid use for 7 days after surgery. Analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare mean pain scores and opioid consumption. Results Mean pain scores over the 7-day study period were lower in the placebo and IV acetaminophen groups. Patients in the placebo and acetaminophen groups reported less pain than those in the ketorolac and combination groups on postoperative days 6 and 7. Patients administered IV acetaminophen had lower daily mean opioid usage. In all, 50% of the patients did not take any opioids after surgery. Conclusions There are small, statistically significant differences in postoperative pain and opioid consumption supporting the use of IV acetaminophen for pain control after endoscopic carpal tunnel release, though these results are likely not clinically relevant. We recommend continued investigation into multimodal pain management in upper extremity surgery as well as limiting the number and quantity of opioid prescriptions provided to patients postoperatively.Theory We used two theoretical frameworks for this study a) experiential learning, whereby learners construct new knowledge based on prior experience, and learning grows out of a continuous process of reconstructing experience, and b)
