Li X, et al. - In this trial performed in a tertiary hospital, researchers compared the postoperative analgesic effects of multimodal analgesia with combined ropivacaine wound infiltration and intravenous flurbiprofen axetil vs of a single dosage of tramadol among 44 patients (age, 18–75 years; American Society of Anesthesiologists status I or II; BMI < 32 kg/m²) who underwent radical thyroidectomy. Participants were randomly allocated to a multimodal analgesia group (Group M) or a control group (Group C) by random numbers assignments. The study was completed by 40 patients. Findings revealed better pain relief after radical thyroidectomy was achieved with multimodal analgesia with ropivacaine wound infiltration and intravenous flurbiprofen axetil vs tramadol.
