AbstractEFFICACY OF ANALGESICS AND NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials demonstrates that common analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) provide short-term pain relief for rheumatism-related pain. There have however been few controlled randomized studies on the efficacy of analgesics against rheumatism-related pain. On the contrary, the numerous trials conducted with NSAID show a wide variety of doses for a wide range of products. Finally, trials comparing NSAID with analgesics are scarce and heterogeneous. The comparative efficacy of these two types of compounds remains difficult to interpret.
