Article Synopsis
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as lornoxicam and parecoxib, have been found effective in managing post-operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, reducing the need for opioids.
- In a study involving 108 patients, those given lornoxicam or parecoxib experienced significantly lower pain scores compared to those given a placebo, both at rest and during movement.
- The results indicate that both lornoxicam (8 mg orally) and parecoxib (40 mg intravenously) are equally effective in reducing pain and the need for additional rescue pain medication post-surgery.
