Abstract
In a double-blind comparison of aspirin, paracetamol and a placebo in postoperative orthopaedic patients a nurse-observer was able to distinguish both active drugs easily from the placebo on first dose information and less easily with second doses. A sequential analysis of between-dose preferences in individual patients was less successful. Few side effects were noted. Some of the problems of subjective scoring of pain and its relief are discussed.Keywords
