Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparative study between ketorolac and ketoprofen in postoperative pain after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
Postoperative pain is a serious problem, requiring an appropriate response from the medical doctor. In otolaryngology special attention is needed after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UP3). ⋯ We concluded that ketorolac is more effective compared to ketoprofen in the treatment of immediate postoperative pain after UP3, as patients using ketorolac had less pain and used opioids to a lesser degree.
