In this randomized controlled trial, 64 participants undergoing PAO at UCSF will be enrolled and randomized to receive either COLP plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. Patients in the COLP arm will receive placebo pills alongside prescribed opioids and at scheduled intervals, beginning on postoperative day one. Weekly follow-up will be conducted for six weeks postoperatively via remote surveys and video visits.
