RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Frozen shoulder is a prevalent condition among individuals in their middle and later years. Invasive therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of frozen shoulders, but its widespread adoption has been hampered by high costs and the need for advanced medical technology. As a result, patients with frozen shoulders often turn to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for symptomatic relief. However, the oral administration of NSAIDs can lead to troublesome adverse effects on the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and urinary systems. In contrast, topical NSAIDs have gained attention for their excellent efficacy and lower adverse effects in various chronic pain conditions. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of topical NSAIDs in improving pain and mobility among patients with frozen shoulders. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 108 patients experiencing moderate to severe pain and mobility impairment due to frozen shoulder were enrolled in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=72) or the control group (n=36). The experimental group received daily treatment with the loxoprofen hydrogel patch (LOX-P) in addition to basic rehabilitation physiotherapy. The control group was treated with flurbiprofen cataplasm (FLU-C) twice a day, along with rehabilitation physiotherapy. The primary endpoint for evaluating the efficacy of the two patches was the Constant-Murley score (CMS). Clinical symptom data, adverse events, and patient satisfaction were also recorded. RESULTS: After 14 days of treatment, the effective rate was 66.67% (n=48) in the experimental group and 41.67% (n=15) in the control group. The overall difference in the effective rates was 25.00% (95% CI=5.20-42.52; p=0.013). The safety profiles of the two topical agents were similar, with only a few adverse events reported. CONCLUSIONS: The loxoprofen hydrogel patch demonstrates a significant ability to alleviate shoulder pain and restore shoulder function in the treatment of frozen shoulder, with minimal adverse reactions.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Postoperative sore throat (POST) and hoarseness are common complications of tracheal intubation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of flurbiprofen administered through the subglottic port of tracheal tubes to prevent POST after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. SETTING: Tertiary Care Referral University Hospital (Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome). PATIENTS: Included 71 patients undergoing for elective cardiac surgery. Inclusion criteria were (a) age between 50 and 75 years, (b) NYHA class I or II, (c) surgery for myocardial revascularization or valve repair or replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTION: Patients were double blind randomized to receive flurbiprofen or saline in the subglottic port of the endotracheal tube (groups F and P). The solution was injected ten minutes after tracheal tube placement, ten minutes after ICU admission and ten minutes before tracheal tube removal. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome was to assess the effect of topical flurbiprofen administered through the subglottic port of the tracheal tube to prevent post-operative sore throat (POST). The secondary outcomes were the presence of hoarseness safety and patient's subjective satisfaction with their recovery. We did not report any exploratory outcomes. MAIN RESULTS: We analyzed 68 patients, 34 patients in each group. In group F, two patients complained of POST and hoarseness (5.9%), while all controls did. The two groups significantly differed in the severity scores (VAS and TPS for sore throat and HOAR for hoarseness) at all time points. In group P, patients reported mild to moderate symptoms that significantly improved or disappeared 36 h after tracheal tube removal. According to the multivariable model, hoarseness affected women less than men, in the control group (p = 0.002). None of the patients in either group reported any adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS: Repeated administration of flurbiprofen through the subglottic port of tracheal tubes reduced the incidence of sore throat and hoarseness after cardiac surgery without evidence of complications.

PURPOSE: Mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) sometimes occurs during abdominal surgery. Prophylactic administration of flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, prevents the development of MTS. However, administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for postoperative pain increases the incidence of postoperative bleeding. Our aim was to examine the effect of prophylactic flurbiprofen administration on postoperative leakage or bleeding after gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS: A retrospective observational study on patients who underwent open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery was conducted. Perioperative, anesthesia and medical records were reviewed. Patients who did (Flurbio-Group) or did not receive (Control-Group) prophylactic flurbiprofen administration were compared. Then, the Flurbio-Group and Control-Group were each divided into two groups according to whether the patients did or did not develop MTS (Flurbio-MTS-Group and Flurbio-no-MTS-Group, respectively, Control-MTS-Group and Control-no-MTS-Group, respectively). RESULTS: This study included 188 patients (Flurbio-MTS-Group, 1 patient; Flurbio-no-MTS-Group, 31 patients; Control-MTS-Group, 59 patients; Control-no-MTS-Group, 97 patients). Seventeen patients developed postoperative leakage or bleeding. Eleven Flurbio-MTS-Group patients (18.6%), 4 Flurbio-no-MTS-Group patients (12.9%, 4/31), and only 2 Control-no-MTS-Group patients (2%, 2/97) developed postoperative leakage or bleeding. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that there was a qualitative interaction effect between prophylactic administration of flurbiprofen and the development of MTS on postoperative leakage or bleeding. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic flurbiprofen administration increased the risk of postoperative leakage or bleeding among patients who did not develop MTS.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the analgesic effect of flurbiprofen axetil (FBA) combined with half standard-dose opioids in patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 100 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomly divided into two groups, namely a control group and an experimental group, with 50 patients in each group. All patients received the same dose of FBA in the form of a patient-controlled intravenous analgesia but in the control group this was combined with a standard-dose of opioids and in the experimental group with a half standard-dose of opioids. RESULTS: A visual analogue scale, used to assess the level of pain 8 hours, 48 hours, and 5 days after TKA, showed that pain relief in the experimental group was equal to that in the control group (difference non-significant: p > 0.05). The knee flexion and extension activity in both groups reached target levels on the fifth day after TKA where differences were also not significant: p > 0.05. The incidence of nausea and vomiting after TKA in the experimental group was significantly less than in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The analgesic effect of FBA in combination with half standard-dose opioids was similar to that of FBA in combination with conventional standard-dose opioids, but the incidence of adverse effects involving nausea/vomiting in the experimental group were significantly reduced.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain control remains unsatisfactory. Patients who underwent laparotomy may have moderate to severe acute postoperative pain. Comparative cost-effectiveness of the following postoperative pain treatment options remains to be investigated: patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with flurbiprofen therapy, flurbiprofen monotherapy, parecoxib monotherapy, or dezocine monotherapy. AIM: To provide a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of four analgesic regimens for patients with postoperative pain following laparotomy surgeries. METHOD: Patients with postoperative pain following laparotomy were retrospectively reviewed from a postoperative pain management database created by pharmacists, and divided into four groups according to analgesic regimens. The clinical outcomes were visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and the incidence of adverse drug events. The CEA was conducted by developing a decision tree model based on retrospective data. The maximum incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the four regimens was used as the willingness-to-pay (WTP) value. Meanwhile, the uncertainty of the base-case results was examined by one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: A total of 677 patients were included in the retrospective study. PCIA with flurbiprofen therapy had the lowest VAS scores at 6, 24, 48 h postoperatively. Based on the base-case results, PCIA plus flurbiprofen was the optimal regimen with the highest effectiveness, while flurbiprofen monotherapy had the lowest cost. PCIA plus flurbiprofen was the optimal regimen even with a WTP value of 0 dollars. CONCLUSION: PCIA plus flurbiprofen therapy was the optimal regimen. Parecoxib monotherapy was more cost-effective than flurbiprofen monotherapy. The findings may guide the selection of postoperative pain management.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenges for patients with laboratory-confirmed streptococcal pharyngitis both before and concomitant with antibiotics. METHODS: This post hoc analysis comprised adult participants from 2 earlier randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies evaluating the analgesic efficacy of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenges in acute pharyngitis. Throat swabs were obtained to diagnose streptococcal infection. Prior to and 2 hours after each dose of study medication (flurbiprofen or placebo lozenges), patients rated 3 symptoms of acute pharyngitis (sore throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and swollen throat) using visual analogue scales. Appropriate antibiotic treatment was initiated when culture results were reported. Mean changes in each pharyngeal symptom were compared over the immediate 24 hours before and during the initial 24 hours of antibiotic treatment. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients provided both preantibiotic and concomitant antibiotic efficacy outcomes. Relief of throat pain was 93% greater in the flurbiprofen group than in the placebo group before antibiotic coadministration and 84% greater than placebo during antibiotic administration (both P < .05). Relief of difficulty swallowing was 71% greater in the flurbiprofen group than in the placebo before antibiotic administration (P = .16) and 107% greater during concomitant antibiotic administration (P = .04). Relief of the sensation of throat swelling was 295% greater with flurbiprofen than placebo before antibiotic administration (P = .008) and 70% greater during concomitant antibiotic administration (P = .06). For placebo-treated patients, relief from throat pain and difficulty swallowing were similar before and during antibiotic treatment (P > .05), indicating no benefit with antibiotic administration for these symptoms. No treatment-related discontinuations or serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of antibiotic use, flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenges provide well-tolerated, effective relief of pharyngeal symptoms in patients with streptococcal infection. In the 24 hours after administration, antibiotics provide no relief of throat pain or difficulty swallowing beyond the topical demulcent effects of placebo lozenges.

Sore throat is one of the most frequent complaints with which patients seek medical help from an otorhinolaryngologist, therapist and pediatrician. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined topical drug with flurbiprofen and cetylpyridinium chloride compared with a monocomponent drug in patients with sore throat associated with manifestations of acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis or with exacerbation of chronic forms of pharyngitis or tonsillitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, multicenter, open, randomized, comparative study in parallel groups included 266 adult patients aged 18 to 60 years with an established diagnosis of acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis with the main complaint of sore throat caused by viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. The patients included in the study were randomized into two groups of 133 participants each: the 1st group included patients who received the combined agent flurbiprofen 8.75 mg and cetylpyridinium chloride 1.0 mg in the form of tablets for resorption; the 2nd group included patients who received cetylpyridinium chloride 1.2 mg in the form of medicinal lozenges. The effectiveness was evaluated on three scales - STPIS, TPA, STPR, reflecting indicators of the dynamics of the disease. RESULTS: The studied combination turned out to be more effective than the monocomponent remedy and was characterized by a more pronounced decrease in the intensity of sore throat within 2 hours after taking the drug and a decrease in pharyngeal hyperemia. CONCLUSION: According to results of the study, the use of a drug based on the combination of flurbiprofen and cetylpyridinium chloride was accompanied by a rapid and pronounced decrease in the intensity of sore throat and pharyngeal hyperemia in patients with upper respiratory tract infections.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapies for chronic pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) between a group with duloxetine (DLX) and S-flurbiprofen plaster (SFPP) (the SFPP group) and a group with DLX and conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (the control group). The subjects were 49 patients (17 men and 32 women). The evaluation of factors associated with treatment termination due to symptoms improvement showed that significantly more women terminated treatment than did men, and significantly more members of the SFPP group terminated treatment than did members of the control group. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score in the SFPP group was significantly improved from 6.6 ± 1.7 before treatment to 3.6 ± 2.1 one month later and showed significant difference until nine months later. The VAS score in the control group was significantly improved from 6.7 ± 1.9 to 4.1 ± 2.8 one month later. The VAS score improvement rate was significantly higher in the SFPP group than in the control group, suggesting that the DLX-SFPP combination had higher efficacy than the DLX-conventional NSAIDs combination. The incidence of adverse drug reactions was 55% in the SFPP group, which is not significantly different from 50% incidence in the control group. The treatment discontinuation rate due to adverse drug reactions, however, was 60% in the control group and 19% in the SFPP group. It was suggested that the efficacy and safety of the DLX-SFPP combination for chronic pain due to OA are equal to or higher than that of the DLX-conventional NSAIDs combination.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between topical administration of flurbiprofen plus corticosteroids versus corticosteroids alone following phacoemulsification and the development of postoperative glaucoma in dogs. ANIMAL STUDIED: Thirty-eight/eighty-three (45.8%) eyes were prescribed topical flurbiprofen plus corticosteroids immediately postop while 45/83 (54.2%) eyes received topical corticosteroids alone. PROCEDURES: Logistic regression models were performed to analyze the relationship between topical flurbiprofen and development of glaucoma and to predict potential risk factors for postoperative glaucoma occurrence. RESULTS: Eighty-three eyes (65 dogs) were included. The mean age at surgery was 8.2 years, with even gender distribution. Increasing age at the time of surgery significantly increased the probability of postoperative glaucoma occurrence (odds ratio [OR] = 1.344, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.093-1.652; p = 0.005). Glaucoma occurred in 17/83 (20.5%) eyes; of these, 15/38 (39.5%) and 2/45 (4.4%) eyes were prescribed topical flurbiprofen plus corticosteroids and topical corticosteroids alone, respectively. Immediate postoperative use of topical flurbiprofen was significantly associated with an increased probability of postoperative glaucoma occurrence (OR = 19.183 [95% CI 3.367-109.286], p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Immediate postoperative use of topical flurbiprofen was a potential predisposing risk factor for the development of glaucoma following phacoemulsification. Restriction of postoperative use of topical flurbiprofen might decrease the possibility of postoperative glaucoma development in dogs.

BACKGROUND: The optimal analgesic strategy for surgical pain after lobectomy remains undefined. To compare the combination of flurbiprofen axetil and dezocine with flurbiprofen axetil alone and dezocine alone, in post-lobectomy patients. METHODS: A single-center, parallel-design double-blind superiority trial, with 5 groups (1:1:1:1:1 ratio) with different combinations of flurbiprofen and dezocine. Patients scheduled for lobectomy will be recruited. The primary outcome is total sufentanil use in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia within the first 24 postoperative hours. Secondary outcomes include pain numeric rating scales at 6th, 12th, 24th, 48th, and 72th postoperative hours, and on the 1st, 3rd, and 6th postoperative months at rest and during coughing, adverse effects from experimental drug treatment, sufentanil use at other time points, analgesia cost, time to chest tube removal, length of hospital stay, time to pass first flatus, and serum level of cytokines. Doctors, patients, and nurses are blinded, and only the manager is unblinded. Analysis is intention-to-treat. Statistical analysis is pre-specified. Statistical comparison of the treatment groups includes one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test. DISCUSSION: Trial did not begin to recruit. Participant recruitment start date is planned to be June 1, 2020. Approximate recruitment end date is May 31, 2021. If successful, the trial may shed light on the use of certain analgesic combinations in post-lobectomy pain control. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR1800018563 .

The influence of surgery and anesthesia on immune function during the perioperative period should not be neglected. In this study, we evaluated the effects of oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil on postoperative analgesia and immune function in patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). One hundred and thirty-three were randomized into the oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil (OF) group or the sufentanil combined with flurbiprofen axetil (SF) group. Patients in the OF group were prescribed oxycodone hydrochloride 0.1 mg/kg combined with flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg for postoperative analgesia, whereas the SF group received sufentanil 0.1 µg/kg combined with flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg. The primary outcome was visual analog scale (VAS) score. Secondary outcomes included the quantities of CD4+ , CD8+ , and natural killer (NK) T cells, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level, and interleukin (IL)-6 in peripheral blood, the consumption of analgesics, and the incidence of adverse reactions, and so forth. The VAS scores at rest were similar in both group. However, the VAS scores at cough in the OF group at 8, 12, and 24 hours postsurgery were lower than those in the SF group. Compared with the SF group, the count of CD4+ T cells and ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ were higher in the OF group at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postsurgery, although the count of CD8+ and NK T cells was higher than that in the SF group at 48 and 72 hours postsurgery. In addition, the serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postsurgery in the OF group was lower than that in the SF group. In addition, the incidence of postoperative nausea, postoperative vomiting, and pruritus was lower, the time to first flatus and bowel movement was earlier in the OF group. Oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil applied for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia could effectively reduce pain intensity, particularly for visceral pain, and help to reverse the status of immunosuppression during radical resection of CRC.

OBJECTIVE: There has been no previous study on the interaction between neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and NSAID use in breastfeeding mothers. This study aimed to investigate whether postpartum analgesics (with NSAIDs) can affect neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mothers who gave birth between January 2017 and December 2017 were included. Those who were not exclusively breastfeeding, gave premature birth, who underwent caesarean section, or whose infants had abnormalities such as an imperforated anus, diaphragmatic hernia, or ovarian tumour were excluded. Mothers were divided into 2 groups based on the analgesics received postpartum: acetaminophen and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; flurbiprofen) users. Multivariable logistic regression was adopted to estimate the risk of hyperbilirubinaemia with the use of different kinds of painkillers. RESULTS: In total, 1153 mothers were reviewed. After applying the exclusion criteria, 480 mothers were finally included in the analyses. Among them, 348 (72.67%) and 132 (27.33%) mothers received acetaminophen and flurbiprofen, respectively. Seven (2.01%) and 1 (0.76%) newborn had hyperbilirubinaemia among the acetaminophen and flurbiprofen users, respectively. Hyperbilirubinaemia risk of infants whose mothers were flurbiprofen users was not significantly different from that of infants whose mothers were acetaminophen users (adjusted odd ratio = 0.50, 95% confidence interval = 0.06-4.50, p-value = 0.4552). CONCLUSIONS: Breastfeeding mothers receiving flurbiprofen do not have increased risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this meta-analysis is to assess the analgesic effect of flurbiprofen on postoperative pain in Chinese surgical patients. METHODS: The primary outcome was acute postoperative pain scores; the secondary outcomes included total opiate consumption during surgery and adverse effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Results were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) or odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). We evaluated heterogeneity by visually examining the forest plots and quantified it by using the I2 statistic. We used random-effects models to pool the data. RESULTS: Of 573 abstracts reviewed, 19 studies involving 1628 participants met the inclusion criteria. Pooled results showed that the intravenous administration of flurbiprofen had a beneficial effect in reducing pain scores at 2 (WMD, -0.78; 95% CI, -1.22 to -0.34; P = 0.001), 6 (WMD, -0.93; 95% CI, -1.40 to -0.46; P = 0.000), 12 (WMD, -1.09; 95% CI, -1.93 to -0.24; P = 0.011), 24 (WMD, -1.08; 95% CI, -1.48 to -0.68; P = 0.000), and 48 (WMD, -0.62; 95% CI, -1.19 to -0.05; P = 0.032) h after surgery. In addition, flurbiprofen administration significantly decreased the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (odds ratio, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.26-0.58; P = 0.000) but had no effects on opiate consumption and dizziness. CONCLUSIONS: The perioperative administration of flurbiprofen is effective in reducing postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting in Chinese surgical patients.

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of flurbiprofen axetil in postoperative analgesia in upper abdominal surgery. METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized, positive drug parallel controlled double-blind clinical study. Patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery were randomly divided to receive flurbiprofen axetil or tramadol. The VAS pain scores at rest and on coughing (pulmonary function training) were assessed immediately before drug usage (T1) to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative analgesia. Repeat assessment of the VAS was performed after T1. The timing of the recovery of the gastrointestinal function and the preoperative and postoperative IL-6, cortisol, and blood glucose levels were recorded as secondary endpoints. Vital signs and the occurrence of adverse reactions were evaluated for the assessment of safety. RESULTS: A total of 240 patients were enrolled in the current study; 119 used flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative analgesia. The VAS scores at rest and on coughing did not differ between the two groups to a statistically significant extent (P > 0.05). However, the reduction of the VAS score at rest in the flurbiprofen axetil group was greater than that in the tramadol group at 4-24 h after T1. The reduction of the VAS score on coughing at 8 h after T1 was greater in the flurbiprofen axetil group. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the flurbiprofen axetil group, with only one adverse reaction recorded. In contrast, 18 adverse reactions were reported in the tramadol group. CONCLUSION: Flurbiprofen axetil showed superior efficacy to tramadol in early postoperative analgesia after upper abdominal surgery. Flurbiprofen axetil was associated with a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions in comparison to tramadol.

BACKGROUND: Thyroidectomy is a common procedure that causes mild trauma. Nevertheless, postoperative pain remains a major challenge in patient care. Multimodal analgesia comprising a combination of analgesics and analgesic techniques has become increasingly popular for the control of postoperative pain. The present study tested the hypothesis that multimodal analgesia with combined ropivacaine wound infiltration and intravenous flurbiprofen axetil after radical thyroidectomy provided better analgesia than a single dosage of tramadol. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary hospital. Forty-four patients (age, 18-75 years; American Society of Anesthesiologists status I or II; BMI < 32 kg/m2) scheduled for radical thyroidectomy were randomly assigned to a multimodal analgesia group (Group M) or a control group (Group C) by random numbers assignments, and 40 patients completed the study. All participants and the nurse in charge of follow-up observations were blinded to group assignment. Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil, propofol, and cisatracurium. After tracheal intubation, Group M received pre-incision wound infiltration with 5 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine mixed with epinephrine at 1:200,000 (5 µg/ml); Group C received no wound infiltration. Anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled infusion of propofol, remifentanil, sevoflurane, and intermittent cisatracurium. Twenty minutes before the end of surgery, Group M received 100 mg flurbiprofen axetil while Group C received 100 mg tramadol. Postoperative pain was evaluated with the numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score. Remifentanil consumption, heart rate, and noninvasive blood pressure were recorded intraoperatively. Adverse events were documented. The primary outcome was analgesic effect according to NRS scores. RESULTS: NRS scores at rest were significantly lower in Group M than in Group C before discharge from the postoperative anesthetic care unit (P = 0.003) and at 2 (P = 0.008), 4 (P = 0.020), and 8 h (P = 0.016) postoperatively. Group M also had significantly lower NRS scores during coughing/swallowing at 5 min after extubation (P = 0.017), before discharge from the postoperative anesthetic care unit (P = 0.001), and at 2 (P = 0.002) and 4 h (P = 0.013) postoperatively. Compared with Group C, NRS scores were significantly lower throughout the first 24 h postoperatively in Group M at rest (P = 0.008) and during coughing/swallowing (P = 0.003). No serious adverse events were observed in either group. CONCLUSION: Multimodal analgesia with ropivacaine wound infiltration and intravenous flurbiprofen axetil provided better analgesia than tramadol after radical thyroidectomy. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number # ChiCTR1800020290 ; date of registration: 22/12/2018).

BACKGROUND: Sore throat and hoarseness are common complications after surgery. Flurbiprofen spray has been successfully used for treatment of oral inflammations, but its effects on postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are unknown. We conducted this study to evaluate the effectiveness of flurbiprofen spray on postoperative sore throat and hoarseness, by comparing it with benzydamine hydrochloride spray and placebo. METHODS: One hundred fifty patients who were scheduled to undergo elective ear surgery were enrolled. Patients were randomized to three groups of 50 patients each; flurbiprofen oral spray, benzydamine hydrochloride oral spray and placebo spray groups. Patients received sprays just before intubation, and the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness were evaluated by a blinded investigator at 0, 1, 6 and 24-hour post extubation. Patients were also questioned for possible side effects at all time points. RESULTS: The sore throat severity scores were significantly lower in treatment groups when compared to placebo group at all time points (P=0.003/108). Similarly, the incidence of sore throat was significantly lower in both of the treatment groups (P=0.007/104). The incidence of hoarseness and hoarseness scores were significantly lower in treatment groups when compared to placebo group (P=0.006/105 and P=0.005/104, respectively). While none of the patients complained of any adverse effects in flurbiprofen group, only two patients in benzydamine hydrochloride group experienced numbness. CONCLUSIONS: Both oral flurbiprofen and benzydamine hydrochloride sprays were found to be more effective than placebo in decreasing the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness, with no adverse effects.

Flurbiprofen axetil is a targeted analgesic and non steroidal analgesic with lipid microspheres as drug carrier. It can selectively accumulate in surgical incision and reduce the allodynia a caused by surgical trauma. In this paper, the experimental subjects were divided into three groups to analyze the difference in the analgesic effect of different doses of flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative analgesia. The patients in group A, B and C were treated with flurbiprofen axetil injection 100, 150, 200mg, respectively. The results showed that MAP, HR, static and dynamic VAS scores and postoperative pain incidence in group B and group C were lower than those in group A, and B group had better analgesic effect and lower incidence of adverse reactions. In the future, we should continue to explore the correlation between the effect of flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative analgesia on coagulation function and the range of dose safety.
