Summary
Although it is known that parecoxib and dexketoprofen are commonly used in successful
post-operative pain relief, there are very few studies that compare these two agents in their
individual applications and/or combined with neuraxial analgesia with opioids and even less
in post-cesarean section pain, as well as the evaluation of the side effects and their impact
on the patient's functionality. For this reason, in order to approach this answer, we sought
to perform this study in patients undergoing elective or emergency cesarean section in our
institution, who meet the inclusion criteria, using the Visual Analog Pain Scale at 12 hrs
and 24 hrs post surgery and evaluating the aforementioned side effects, comparing in one arm
of the study Parecoxib + acetaminophen vs Dexketoprofen + acetaminophen in the other arm,
randomizing the patients in both groups using a double-blind configuration.
