Official title
A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Trial Comparing 3 Doses of Oral Ibuprofen in Management of Mild to Moderate Pain in Adult Patients in the ED
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Ibuprofen is one of the most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for management of mild -to moderate pain in the ED (acute musculo-skeletal pain, headache, dental pain). Ibuprofen as a representative of NSAID's as a class follows the analgesic ceiling concept that postulates that there is a dose of a drug beyond which any further dosage increase results in no additional analgesic effect. Despite this fact, Ibuprofen may commonly be used at doses above its analgesic ceiling, although this may not offer an incremental analgesic advantage and potentially adds risk of harm. The analgesic ceiling dose for ibuprofen is only 200-400mg/dose, and about 1200 mg/day. Thus, we hypothesize that administration of Ibuprofen in a dose of 400 mg in the ED is as effective in treating mild-to-moderate acute pain in patients presenting to the ED as 600 mg and 800 mg
