The preferred procedure for primary open inguinal hernias is open mesh repair (tension-free)-also called Lichtenstein repair. Opioids remain the mainstay for post-operative analgesia, however, they have a tendency for dependence along with other side effects. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSIADs) have been used as adjuncts to decrease the use of opioids, however, usually NSAIDs are not used in isolation following surgery. We compared post-operative analgesia following primary open inguinal hernia repair, with patients receiving only opioids vs patients only receiving NSAIDs. 60 patients were randomized in to 2 groups. Group A patients received tramadol injection (opioid) every 8 hours, while patients in Group B received injection ketorolac (NSAID) every 8 hourly. Pain was measured using visual analogue score at 2-, 6-, 12- and 24-hours following surgery.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Undergoing elective primary unilateral open inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia - Lichtenstein repair with prolene mesh\n* ASA I or II\n* Ages 18 - 65\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient on chronic pain meds\n* Patient receiving analgesics 24hrs prior to surgery\n* Incarcerated or strangulated hernia or recurrent hernia\n* BMI \\>40\n* Allergic to medications being tested in this study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06608056', 'briefTitle': 'Comparing Opioids Vs NSAIDs for Postoperative Pain Management in Unilateral Primary Open Inguinal Hernia Repair', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Hospital Islamabad'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparing Opioid Vs Non Opioid Analgesics for Postoperative Pain Management in Unilateral Primary Open Inguinal Hernia Repair', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'SGR-2021-137-2499-2'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'SGR-2021-137-2499-2', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'PAF Hospital ethical committee'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Tramadol', 'description': 'Patients received injection tramadol 50 mg intravenously every 8 hourly following surgery', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Pain management after surgery']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Ketorolac', 'description': 'Patients received injection tramadol 30 mg intravenously every 8 hourly following surgery', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Pain management after surgery']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Pain management after surgery', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Patients in Group A received injection tramadol 50mg intravenously every 8 hours following surgery.
