Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if buprenorphine can treat pain in older adults who have broken bones. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is buprenorphine as effective as opioids to treat pain? Are there less side effects with buprenorphine? Researchers will compare buprenorphine and hydromorphone to see if there are differences in pain control and side effects. Participants will be given one of the two study drugs after breaking a bone and asked about their pain scores and side effects for the next 48 hours.
