About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind Study Assessing the Efficacy of Intravenous (IV) Ibuprofen Versus IV Acetaminophen for the Treatment of Pain Following Orthopaedic Low Extremity Surgery

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of IV Ibuprofen versus IV Acetaminophen in the reduction of pain following orthopedic low extremity procedures

Read the detailed description

Approval from Ethical Committee of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia was acquired prior conducting the study. Patients undergoing orthopedic low extremity surgery were screened. Eligible subjects were then randomized into treatment group (intravenous ibuprofen) and control group (intravenous acetaminophen). In case required, patients from both group will be given Morphine (PCA) 1-2 mg every 5 minutes.

Keywords

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03771755, which also lists 25 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
