Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the analgesic effects of dexketoprofen trometamol (50 mg i.v.) versus metamizol (2 g i.v.) in the immediate post-operative period (first 4 hours after intravenous route administration) in patients subsequent to ambulatory major surgery, through the assessment of pain intensity using visual analogue and verbal rating scales.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate: a) Need of rescue medication during the intravenous phase b) Analgesic efficacy of both drugs during the oral phase, through the assessment of pain intensity using visual analogue and verbal rating scales, and the assessment of pain relief using a verbal rating scale c) Need of rescue medication during the oral phase d) Quality of sleep using a verbal rating scale e) Overall efficacy assessment at end of treatment using a verbal rating scale f) Safety of both treatments ;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of the analgesic efficacy by the comparison of pain intensity (PI) mean scores obtained in the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the verbal rating scale during the intravenous phase (first 4 hours after the administration of the first (intravenous) dose).
