    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Surgical Pain Management

    Background:

    • Postoperative pain is a significant concern for surgical patients.
    • Effective and safe analgesia is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Morphine is a standard opioid analgesic, but carries risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the analgesic efficacy of nefopam with morphine in postoperative pain.
    • To evaluate the safety and side effect profile of nefopam compared to morphine.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial involving three groups of surgical patients.
    • Administration of nefopam at 0.2 mg kg-1 or 0.4 mg kg-1.
    • Administration of morphine at 0.15 mg kg-1 for pain relief.

    Main Results:

    • Nefopam 0.4 mg kg-1 demonstrated equi-analgesic effects compared to morphine 0.15 mg kg-1.
    • Nefopam 0.4 mg kg-1 did not produce apparent cardiovascular or respiratory side effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Nefopam is an effective analgesic for postoperative pain.
    • Nefopam offers a potential alternative to morphine with a better safety profile regarding cardiovascular and respiratory functions.
