Pain management after total hip arthroplasty: comparative study of analgesic efficacy and tolerability between oral tramadol/dexketoprofen and injectable paracetamol + tramadol

CONCLUSIONS: After THA, oral TRAM/DKP provides faster and greater pain relief when compared to intravenous PARA+TRAM with limited consumption of RM and favourable tolerability profile. Our study expands the use of TRAM/DKP in the setting of major orthopaedic surgeries.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04178109).PMID:38204364 | DOI:10.1177/11207000231219797
