- Brief Summary
This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered ibuprofen 400mg and 800 mg q6h for the management of moderate to severe postoperative pain in Chinese population.
- Detailed Description
This randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center clinical study was conducted in 396 patients scheduled to undergo elective general anesthesia laparotomy or orthopedic surgery. Patients were randomly divided into three groups in radio 1:1:1 received respectively IV placebo, ibuprofen 400 mg or ibuprofen 800 mg. The first dose of study drugs was administered intravenously at the time of wound closure and then every 6 hours within 48 hours after the operation. At the end of surgical suture, 5mg morphine was injected intravenously, and then the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump was connected. Efficacy was assessed by morphine dosage during the first 24 hours, pain intensity score, and area under the pain-time curve after surgery. Safety was assessed by the incidence of adverse events.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method the amount of morphine administered during the first 24 hours after surgery.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain intensity (PI) at 0 hour,1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours and 48 hours immediately after the first administration. the PI was evaluated using patient self-reporting with numerical rating scales (NRS) (0= no pain to 10= intense pain)
Treatment failure rate within 24 hours after the operation the rate of using other non-morphine drugs to remedy analgesia
Total frequency and effective frequency of PCA within 24 hours after surgery
The area under the PI-time curve (AUC) across 3 time periods (1-24 hours, 6-24 hours, 12-24 hours) at rest and with movement
Patients' evaluation of the study drug after 48 hours of medication excellent=5, very good=4, good=3, general=2, bad=1
