Ketorolac and diclofenac for postoperative pain relief following oral surgery

G M Walton et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

A double-blind clinical study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of intramuscular and oral ketorolac, a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic with that of diclofenac and placebo for patients undergoing removal of impacted mandibular third molar teeth. Results showed that both analgesic preparations were more effective than placebo (p = 0.0029) and that ketorolac provided a similar degree of pain relief to that of diclofenac. It is concluded that ketorolac is important new addition to the available intra-muscular NSAID preparations.
