Sleep Quality and the Efficacy of a Multimodal Sleep Pathway in Hospitalized Orthopedic Trauma Patients

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. 1This trial is testing a 'multimodal sleep pathway' for orthopedic trauma patients in the hospital — can you explain what that pathway actually involves day-to-day, and whether it would change how my pain or sleep medications are managed during my stay?
2. 2Since this trial is tracking daily opioid use as one of its main outcomes, does that mean there's a possibility my pain medication could be reduced or changed as part of the study, and how would my comfort be protected if that happens?
3. 3The trial isn't recruiting yet — do you know when it's expected to open, and given my situation, is it realistic to wait for it or should we be making treatment and recovery decisions now?
4. 4The study measures both objective sleep data and how I personally feel I'm sleeping using questionnaires — can you walk me through what that would require from me while I'm recovering from an orthopedic injury, and is that realistic given how I'm feeling?
5. 5Compared to just being cared for normally in the hospital without being in a study, what do you think I might gain or lose by participating in this trial, especially since it's Phase 3 and we may not yet have full safety and effectiveness data?
