Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEfficacy of ibuprofen versus lornoxicam after third molar surgery: a randomized, double-blind, crossover pilot study.
The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy and tolerability of a pre-emptive/post-surgery 4-day regimen of oral ibuprofen 400 mg with that of lornoxicam 8 mg. ⋯ Ibuprofen 400 mg and lornoxicam 8 mg were rated as equal and effective pain treatment medication after wisdom tooth surgery. In comparison, neither of the drugs provided clinical advantages nor did side effects occur more frequently after one of the analgesics.
