This study compared pain descriptors after hemorrhoidectomy using ketoprofen, tenoxicam, or saline. Pain intensity was rated similarly across groups, with "unbearable" and "intense" being common descriptors.

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Pharmacology
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Post-operative pain assessment is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Understanding patient-reported pain descriptors aids in evaluating analgesic efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare pain descriptor ratings after hemorrhoidectomy.
  • To assess the stability and agreement of pain estimations.
  • To evaluate the effects of ketoprofen, tenoxicam, and placebo on pain perception.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy were randomly assigned to receive ketoprofen, tenoxicam, or physiological serum.
  • Participants rated post-operative pain using a 1-7 scale for various descriptors.
  • The psychophysical method of category estimation was employed.

Main Results:

  • Ketoprofen group (Group C) identified

Conclusions:

  • Pain descriptors like 'intense' and 'unbearable' were consistently reported across treatment groups.
  • The choice of analgesic (ketoprofen, tenoxicam) did not significantly alter the primary pain descriptors used by patients.
