A randomized trial of standard vs restricted opioid prescribing following midurethral sling

Restricted opioid prescription is non-inferior to standard opioid prescription in the setting of pain control and satisfaction with pain control after isolated mid-urethral placement. Participants in the restricted arm filled fewer opioid prescriptions. On average only 3.4 tablets were used by those that filled prescriptions in both groups. Restrictive opioid prescribing practices may reduce unused opioids in the community, while achieving similar pain control.
