Post-surgical analgesia after unilateral bunionectomy
Study
We are conducting a clinical research study evaluating the effectiveness of an investigational drug for pain management following hallux valgus (bunion) surgery.
The Situation
A hallux valgus (bunion) presents daily challenges, causing persistent pain and increasing difficulty with mobility.
While surgery is an effective solution, optimal pain management immediately following the procedure remains a key priority in medical research, aiming to ensure a comfortable recovery and a speedy return to health.
Study Objective
This study is intended for individuals planning to undergo hallux valgus surgery. The purpose is to analyze the impact of the investigational drug on comfort and recovery during the initial days following the procedure.
What participating in this study includes:
- Surgery and pain management: The bunion surgery, the study drug, and pain medications are provided.
- Post-operative care: As part of the study, you are required to stay for 4 consecutive nights at the Diex Recherche facility immediately following your surgery. This stay allows our team to closely monitor your safety, comfort, and the effectiveness of the study drug.
- Medical care: You will receive regular follow-ups and examinations related to the surgery and pain management.
- Compensation and transportation logistics: You will be compensated for your time and study participation. Additionally, a transportation service may be available in certain cases.
Eligibility and Voluntary Participation
Participation in this research is entirely voluntary. You do not have to participate, and you may withdraw from the study at any time, without providing a reason and without affecting the quality of your future care.
To be eligible, you must:
- Be 18-75 years of age.
- Have an official diagnosis of hallux valgus (bunion).
- Be willing to undergo surgery.
- Have a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 18.0 kg/m² and less than or equal to 39.0 kg/m².
