Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of intranasal tapentadol nasal spray 44.5mg and intravenous paracetamol 1gm during the postoperative period by Visual analog scale(VAS)in patients undergoing lower limb(long bone fractures)orthopedic surgeries. Paracetamol is one of the most frequently used analgesic and antipyretic agents, interferes neither with platelet nor kidney functions nor does it present the unwanted side effects of NSAIDs. Tapentadol is a novel, centrally-acting analgesic with a dual mechanism of action, combining mu-opioid receptor agonism with norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. This dual mode of action is responsible for its opioid-sparing effect, which contributes to a reduction in some of the typical opioid-related adverse effects
