Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized comparison between the combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen and each constituent alone for analgesia following tonsillectomy in children.
Combined acetaminophen and ibuprofen may be more effective than either constituent alone for pain in adults. The combination was compared with the individual constituents for analgesia following tonsillectomy in children. ⋯ The combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen was not superior to its individual components in the regimen studied in this pediatric population undergoing tonsillectomy. The study was registered with the Australia New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12607000005459) on January 4, 2007.
