About this trial
This study will be a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT), investigating the influence of the number of opioid pills prescribed following primary hip arthroscopy. All patients who sign the consent form will be enrolled in the suited and randomized to one of the two treatment arms. The intervention group will receive 5 Norco pills, gabapentin (30 mg, once daily for 10 days following surgery), and Tylenol (1000 mg, three times daily for 10 days following surgery) while the control will receive the standard at our practice of 30 Norco pills.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Pain Score
Visual Analog Scale: unidimensional measure of pain intensity, which has been widely used in diverse adult populations. Score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score
assess the patient's opinion about their hip and associated problems and to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations related to the hip during a therapeutic process. The outcome score consists of 40 items assessing 5 subscales. The 5 separate patient-relevant dimensions are Pain (P), Symptoms (S), Activity limitations daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (SP) and hip related quality of life (QOL). Pain (P) includes 10 items with a total score of 40 points, Symptoms (S) includes 5 items with a total score of 20, Activity limitations daily living (ADL) includes 17 items with a total score of 68 and finally Function in sport and recreation (SP) and hip related quality of life both include 4 items with a total score of 16 each. The outcome measure is transformed in a worst to best scale from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms.
