Phase 4
Conditions
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01514175
Lead Sponsor
Culpeper Surgery Center
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen compared to a single dose of ketorolac for the treatment of postoperative pain as measured by patient pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS).

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen compared to a single dose of ketorolac for the treatment of postoperative pain as measured by patient pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS).

The secondary objectives of this study are:

* To compare amount of and time to rescue medication in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.

* To compare time to mobility in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.

* To compare time to discharge in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.

* To compare the incidence of adverse events between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.
