Background: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ketoprofen patch versus diclofenac patch as post-operative analgesic in hysterectomy patients.Methods: The study was a prospective, single blind, randomized, comparative interventional clinical study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Sixty female patients were randomly allocated to receive either ketoprofen or diclofenac patch 1 hour prior to the hysterectomy. Pain was assessed postoperatively after an interval of every four hours for 24 hours using visual analogue scale (VAS) and verbal rating scale (VRS).Results: In ketoprofen group, mean VAS was (2.92±0.11) significantly low as compared to diclofenac group (3.25±0.14). The mean VRS score in group ketoprofen (1.62±0.22) was low as compared to group diclofenac (1.83±0.16). Safety analysis revealed no apparent serious adverse events. Inj. Paracetamol 1 gm i.v was given as rescue analgesic to the patients in whom VRS >2 and VAS >5 was noted. Data were analysed using unpaired student’s t-test.Conclusions: Transdermal patches are very convenient to use and causes less discomfort as compared to traditional routes of drug delivery. Ketoprofen patch was found better in providing analgesia after hysterectomy as compared to diclofenac patch with lesser side effects.

“…These patches have increased the bioavailability, painless self-administration, maintenance of constant and stable drug levels, reduction of inter-and intra-patient variability, ease of medication termination, and maintenance of constant and stable drug levels. [6][7][8][9] Diclofenac patch has been studied mostly by dental surgeons after various dental surgeries 10 and our surgical colleagues in hernia surgeries, and the comparison has been with the intramuscular route for the use of inj diclofenac.

Introduction:Pain is an inevitable outcome of any surgery and control of postoperative pain is very important to improve patient comfort and reduce morbidity. The present study aims to compare the degree of postoperative pain relief using inj paracetamol and transdermal diclofenac patch after cesarean delivery. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled trial was done involving 200 women (100 women were involved in the transdermal diclofenac patch group and 100 women in the inj paracetamol group) to compare the efficacy of each drug as analgesia following cesarean delivery. Results: Both the statistical and clinical observations among the 200 patients showed that 100 mg diclofenac sodium administered transdermally as a patch has equal efficacy as compared with 1000 mg of paracetamol infusion given every 8 hours. Conclusion: Diclofenac patch and injection paracetamol as infusion have similar efficacy in providing postoperative pain relief for 24 hours after the cesarean delivery.
