OBJECTIVE To measure postoperative pain relief following the use of rectal diclofenac combined with intramuscular pentazocine compared with intramuscular pentazocine alone in patients undergoing a caesarean delivery. METHODS This single-blind randomized controlled trial enrolled pregnant women that had a caesarean section at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria. Study participants were randomized to receive either 100 mg of rectal diclofenac given every 12 h plus 30 mg of intramuscular pentazocine given every 6 h (group A) or 60 mg of intramuscular pentazocine given every 6 h (group B). The primary outcome was the level of pain as measured using a visual analogue scale. The secondary outcomes were the level of satisfaction with pain relief and need for rescue analgesia. RESULTS A total of 200 participants were randomized equally into the two groups. Participants in group A had significantly better pain control and satisfaction over the 48 h after surgery compared with group B. Significantly more of group B required rescue analgesia for breakthrough pain compared with group A. CONCLUSIONS Rectal diclofenac combined with intramuscular pentazocine was significantly better at controlling pain compared with pentazocine alone in the first 48 h following caesarean section.Trial registration number: PACTR202107706925314 at www.pactr.org on 28 July 2021.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
