1Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Abstract:
We performed a double blind randomised controlled study to assess whether the preoperative administration of ampiroxicam reduced the level of postoperative pain in 120 patients who underwent surgery to a hand under brachial plexus block. We found that preoperative (pre-emptive) administration of ampiroxicam significantly reduced the postoperative pain levels and the need for postoperative analgesia.
