Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the analgesic effect of dexketoprofen trometamol (50 mg t.i.d.) versus ketorolac (30 mg t.i.d.) and placebo, as part of a balanced analgesic therapy with morphine, in patients with postoperative pain after orthopaedic surgery, by means of the determination of total cumulative amount of morphine in the first 24 hours of treatment ;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the analgesic effect by means of the pain intensity assessment in the first 48 hours of treatment (intravenous phase) - To evaluate the analgesic effect by means of the total cumulative amount of morphine in the first 48 hours of treatment (intravenous phase) - To evaluate the analgesic effect by means of the pain intensity assessment during the phase of oral treatment - To evaluate the quality of sleep in the first 48 hours of treatment (intravenous phase) - To evaluate the level of sedation in the first 48 hours of treatment (intravenous phase) - To assess the safety and tolerability of the treatments - The overall assessment of the treatment by the patient and investigator’s team at the end of the study, or when the patient is withdrawn ;Primary end point(s): Determination of total cumulative amount of morphine in the first 24 hours of treatment
