The Analgesic Effect of 8 and 16 mg Lornoxicam Administered Before Shock Wave Lithotripsy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study

Unfocused Extracorporeal Shock Waves Induce Anabolic Effects in Rat Bone

“…Therefore, after we had treated the first two animals, we began giving analgesics prior to extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Intravenous analgesia with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prior to extracorporeal shock wave therapy for kidney stones has been reported to provide good suppression of pain 33 . Extracorporeal shock wave therapy itself has an analgesic effect, so the gradual increase of the energy flux density during treatment might also help to reduce pain 34,35 .…”

Preoperative peritonsillar lornoxicam infiltration is not superior to intravenous lornoxicam for pain relief following tonsillectomy in adults

“…15 The selected dose of i.v. lornoxicam (16 mg) was based on several previous studies, 13,[16][17][18] whereas other clinical trials found that a preoperative dose of 8 mg was efficient for postoperative analgesia. [3][4][5][6][7] Although the lower dose provided effective pain relief, 16 mg lornoxicam could produce a more potent analgesic effect.…”

Preoperative lornoxicam for pain prevention after tonsillectomy in adults

“…Due to these properties and its availability as a parenteral form, lornoxicam may be favorable for acute perioperative pain management, particularly in patients for whom perioperative oral administration is undesirable [15]. The selected dose of IV lornoxicam (16 mg) was based on several previous studies [14,[16][17][18], while other clinical trials found that a preoperative dose of 8 mg was efficient for postoperative analgesia [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Although the lower dose provided effective pain relief, lornoxicam 16 mg may produce more potent analgesia and of longer duration [14,17,18].…”
