The use of naproxen in controlling postoperative pain in podiatric surgery

J G DiPrima et al. J Foot Surg. 1986 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The study was conducted with 110 patients admitted to Sheridan Park Hospital to determine the efficacy of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, naproxen, in relieving postoperative pain. Aspirin, as well as compounds classified as nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as naproxen, are known to inhibit synthesis of certain prostaglandins that are involved in the inflammation process. This is the cause of a significant percentage of postoperative pain.
