Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of rectal diclofenac for managing postoperative pain in women undergoing diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy and dye test.
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 108 participants, pain levels were measured at various time points, showing diclofenac provided slightly lower pain scores but not significantly better than the placebo.
- Overall, while rectal diclofenac was deemed safe, it did not substantially enhance pain relief or patient satisfaction when compared to placebo treatments following surgery.
