  • Suzetrigine for Acute Pain Control in Patients With Multiple Rib Fractures

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Rib fractures cause a significant amount of pain and are associated with an increased risk of lung infections, long hospitalization, and increased cost. Effective pain control is the cornerstone of management to improve lung function and minimize complications. Most often this is done with a multimodal pain routine consisting of: acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), topical lidocaine, muscle relaxants, and opioids. However, suzetrigine is a promising alternative to treat acute pain associated with rib fractures. We think the addition of suzetrigine to a multimodal pain regimen will improve pain and decrease opioid use.
