Study of Lornoxicam or Ketorolac or Placebo for Post-Operative Pain After Bunionectomy - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Pozen
Information provided by:	Pozen
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00293631

Purpose

To determine whether a single dose of intravenous lornoxicam is superior to intravenous placebo for management of post-operative pain in patients who have surgical removal of a bunion on the lower extremity. One-fourth of patients in this study will receive a single dose of intravenous ketorolac for management of pain and one-fourth of patients in this study will receive a single dose of an intravenous placebo.

Further study details as provided by Pozen:

Primary Outcome Measures:

The analgesic efficacy (TOTPAR) over 0-12 hours measured on a 100 point Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of a single intravenous dose of lornoxicam (8 mg or 16 mg) compared to placebo in the treatment of post-orthopedic surgery (bunionectomy)
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of lornoxicam administered to subjects with post-bunionectomy surgery pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To determine the time to onset of analgesic effect and peak analgesic effect of lornoxicam (8 mg and 16 mg) compared to placebo.
