Patient Controlled Administration of Liquid Acetaminophen

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1Since this is a Phase 1 trial focused on feasibility — like how many people enroll and whether patients can follow the protocol — rather than proving the treatment works, what does that mean for what we'd actually learn about safety and effectiveness of self-administering liquid acetaminophen for my postoperative pain?
2. 2The trial is measuring how well patients can stick to the study protocol for self-administering liquid acetaminophen after surgery — how complicated is that protocol, and is it realistic given how I might feel right after my operation?
3. 3Given that one of the main things being measured is a nurse questionnaire about their experience with this approach, what role would the nursing staff play in overseeing my pain management during the study, and would my care be any different from the standard approach?
4. 4Are there existing standard-of-care options for managing my postoperative pain that have more established evidence behind them, and would it make more sense to try those before considering a Phase 1 feasibility study like this one?
5. 5Since the trial is still actively recruiting, how long would I likely be participating, and would my involvement extend beyond my immediate post-surgery recovery period?
