Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the prophylactic effectiveness of intravenous Ibuprofen and intramuscular Piroxicam on pain intensity after lower abdominal surgery under general anesthesia
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 90 patients. Random allocation software is used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Immediately after induction of anesthesia and before surgical incision, in the Piroxicam group, 20 milligrams (mg) of intramuscular Piroxicam, in the Ibuprofen group, 400 mg of Ibuprofen and in the control group, intravenous Normal saline is injected and then, at certain hours after surgery, its effect on reducing postoperative pain is compared in three groups. This study is performed in Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. Patients and researcher are not aware of the type of injected drugs.

In the Piroxicam group, 20 milligrams (mg) of intramuscular Piroxicam, in the Ibuprofen group, 400 mg of Ibuprofen and in the control group, intravenous Normal saline is injected into each patient.
Main outcome variables
Postoperative pain intensity; Average opioids consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery; Mean heart rate and blood pressure during surgery; First time of requesting opioids; Duration of stay in recovery; extubation time; Degree of patient satisfaction with pain relief

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, block randomization method is used. Patients who have the inclusion criteria are selected sequentially so that the first 3 are considered as a block and Then, using random allocation software, they are randomly divided into 3 groups: ibuprofen, piroxicam and control. This process continues until 90 patients enter the study. Thus, we will have equally 30 patients in each group (ibuprofen, piroxicam and control).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Participants in study are unaware of the type of drug being injected. An anesthesiologist, who has no role in data collecting, prepares the medication in same volume and injects them. The data collector and the person who evaluating the outcome are not aware of the grouping of patients and the type of injected drug But the data analyzer is informed.
