Early perioperative versus postoperative meloxicam for pain control in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Abstract
Post-orthopaedic operative pain is a serious concern that often requires the administration of analgesics; however, the optimal time of analgesic administration is still inconclusive. Perioperative analgesia is administrating pre-emptive analgesia before and during the surgery followed by postoperative analgesia to decrease the procedure associated nociceptive response. We aim to assess perioperative meloxicam versus postoperative meloxicam for pain control after orthopaedic operations.
