About This Free Flap Reconstruction Study in Indianapolis

The main purpose of this study is to determine which type of medication, sufentanil or methadone, is better at controlling pain during and, more importantly, after surgery in patients undergoing a head and neck dissection with free flap or rotational tissue reconstruction. Prior to their operation, subjects will be randomized to receive either Sufentanil or Methadone. After surgery, research staff will obtain information about recovery and pain levels.
