Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of intravenous ibuprofen compared to ketorolac for the treatment of postoperative pain as measured by patient pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS)
Primary Outcome
Pain assessed using VAS (Visual Analog Scale, VAS). The VAS is a continuous scale compromised of a horizontal line, one hundred millimeters in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors (No Pain, Worst Possible Pain). The VAS is self-completed by the respondent. The respondent is asked to place a line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represents their pain intensity. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance, in mm, on the 100 mm line between the "No Pain" anch
Interventions
- DRUG Ketorolac
- DRUG IV ibuprofen
