%X OBJECTIVE: To study the analgesic effects and side effects of a transdermal lappaconitine (TLA) patch, ibuprofen suspension (IS), and TLA combined with IS (TLACIS) after adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.
METHODS: Prospective, randomized clinical trial.
METHODS: The patients were randomized into three groups defined by different analgesic drug regimens: the TLA group, the IS group, and the TLACIS group. Pain scores at 2, 12, and 24 hours after surgery and adverse-event reports within the first postoperative week were collected.
RESULTS: Ultimately, this study included 102 cases in the TLA group, 101 cases in the IS group, and 101 cases in the TLACIS group. At 2 hours after surgery, the pain scores of the TLA and the TLACIS groups were both significantly lower than that of the IS group (all P < .05). At 12 and 24 hours after surgery, the pain score of the TLACIS group was significantly lower than those of the TLA and IS groups (all P < .05); furthermore, the pain score of the IS group was significantly lower than that of the TLA group (P < .05). Within 1 week after the operation, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of a TLA patch can speed the onset of analgesia. In terms of analgesic effects, IS alone is more advantageous than TLA alone, while the combination of TLA and IS has the best analgesic effect. No significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events among the three regimens.
