Abstract
This randomised parallel group double-blind placebo-controlled study was carried out to assess the analgesic efficacy of preoperatively-administered oral ibuprofen arginine 400mg in the management of postoperative pain after suction termination of pregnancy. 75 patients, aged between 16 and 45 years, were evaluated according to their own assessment of pain on a 100mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with extremes at either end of ‘no pain’ (0mm) and ‘unbearable pain’ (100mm). Responses were recorded for each patient 30 minutes before surgery (baseline) when the trial medication was administered, and at specified time-points up to 4 hours after the procedure.
