Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study focused on to determine postoperative analgesic efficacy of tramadol compared to tramadol with addition of paracetamol after a lumbar disc surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background:

Despite developments in treatment of pain, the availability of new drugs or increased knowledge of pain management, postoperative pain control after different surgeries still remains inadequate.

Aims:

This study focused on to determine postoperative analgesic efficacy of tramadol compared to tramadol with addition of paracetamol after a lumbar disc surgery.

Study Design:

In this study we have randomized 60 patients into two treatment groups. In Group Tramadol patients received tramadol, In Group TramadolParacetamol patients received paracetamol 1 gr iv in addition to tramadol 30 minutes before the operation ends and 1 g at 6 hour intervals.

Methods:

Severity of the pain, total tramadol consumption, adverse effects, ramsay sedation scale score, nausea/vomiting scores, patient satisfaction score were recorded in the postoperative period.
