Abstract
The analgesic effect of flurbiprofen, aspirin and placebo in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea was compared in 41 patients using a double-blind triple crossover study. No statistically significant differences were found between any pair of treatments and the control for pain relief. Thirty patients were assessed for all 3 treatment months; 11 preferred flurbiprofen, 9 preferred placebo, 6 preferred aspirin and 4 had no preference. Side effects were reported by 14 of the 41 patients: 3 during the control month, 6 during the flurbiprofen month, 4 during the aspirin month and 7 during the placebo month.
