Effectiveness of Diclofenac and Its Association to Codeine After Lower Third Molar Extraction.

September 10, 2015 updated by: Paulo Zupelari Goncalves, University of Sao Paulo

Effectiveness of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Diclofenac and Its Association to the Opioid Codeine for Pain, Swelling and Trismus in the Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar Extraction With a High Degree of Difficulty Model.

It will be evaluated the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac 50mg (NSAID) compared to its association with Codeine 50mg (opioid) administered in 50 patients requiring extraction of two third molars. After assessing the research parameters, a comparative data analysis, along with the proper application of statistical tests, will provide the basis for an evaluation of both efficiency medications used.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This research will evaluate the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac 50mg (NSAID) compared to its association with Codeine 50mg (opioid) administered in 50 patients aged less than 18 and requiring extraction of two third molars (with very similar positions, whose degree of difficulty is high). It will be assessed the following parameters: 1) onset and duration of surgery after administration of local anesthetic, 2) open mouth prior to surgery, on the 2nd day after the operation and on the 7th day after surgery (removal points), 3) subjective assessment of pain using a visual analog scale, 4) measurement of facial edema in the second day after the operation and on the 7th day after surgery (as compared with the measurements obtained before surgery) and 5) the incidence, type and severity of adverse reactions. The analysis comparative data, along with the proper application of statistical tests, provide the basis for an evaluation of both efficiency medications used.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Pain control using codeine + diclofenac
Fifty healthy volunteers underwent removal of symmetrically positioned lower third molars, receiving for pain relief after the procedure 50mg of codeine + 50mg of diclofenac
Drug: Codeine + Diclofenac
The patients will receive codeine and diclofenac as pain relief medicine after the surgery
Other Names:
  • Lower third molar surgery
  • Pain control
  • NSAID associated with Opioids
Experimental: Pain control using diclofenac
Fifty healthy volunteers underwent removal of symmetrically positioned lower third molars, receiving for pain relief after the procedure 50mg of diclofenac
Drug: Diclofenac
The patients will receive only diclofenac
Other Names:
  • NSAID
  • Lower third molar surgery
  • Pain control

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Higher pain control after lower third molar surgeries with codeine + diclofenac
Time Frame: Seven days after surgery
Reducing pain is measured by visual analogue scale. It is expected that the visual analogue scale (100 mm) presents lower values in patients that underwent surgeries and received the association of codeine + diclofenac compared to whose received only diclofenac. Evaluated periods were 0, 15, 30, 45 min, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
Seven days after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse effects
Time Frame: Seven days after surgery
Increased reporting of adverse effects during the postoperative period in patients that received codeine + diclofenac assessed by the information contained in the medical records of the patient.
Seven days after surgery
