- A study on post-operative pain relief from paracetamol suggests its effectiveness may involve serotonin pathways, as indicated by the inhibitory effects of tropisetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist.
- Thirty-six patients were divided into two groups receiving either paracetamol with tropisetron or paracetamol with a placebo, and pain levels were evaluated after surgery.
- Although the difference in pain scores between the two groups wasn't statistically significant, the tropisetron group reported higher pain levels, highlighting the need for larger studies to further explore this interaction.
[Postoperative pain assessment in head and neck cancer surgery: benefit of patient controlled analgesia (PCA)].

June 1999
Acute postoperative pain has seldom been assessed in head and neck cancer surgery. The estimation of actual pain is more difficult when communication is impaired by tracheotomy or tracheostomia. The aim of the present prospective study was the assessment of analgesia level during the first 48 postoperative hours after head and neck cancer surgery.
