E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The aim of this study is to investigate if the addition of metamizole to the standard post-operative treatment, i.e. paracetamol and ibuprofen, is superior in reducing post-operative pain on day 1 after ambulatory surgery compared to the standard post-operative treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- Quality of Recovery on baseline and at days 7, 14, 28 and 3 months postoperatively. - Postoperative pain intensity at rest and at movement measured by NRS at discharge and at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 14, 28 and at 3 months. - Simple shoulder test (SST) measured on baseline and at days 7, 14, 28 and 3 months postoperatively. - Adherence to study medication on day 1, 2, 3 and 4 postoperatively. - Adverse effects of the study medication (i.e. pyrosis, signs of agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia) - Total amount of intravenous piritramide received in the PACU - The use of rescue medication (Tramadol) at home on day 1, 2, 3 and 4 postoperatively (yes/no) - Satisfaction with study medication, surgery and hospital care and telephone follow-up measured at the seventh postoperative day and 3 months postoperatively by NRS.
