Abstract
Using 3 different methods of analysis, a single dose double-blind crossover study of the effectiveness of 5 analgesics and placebo against the pain of rheumatoid synovitis in 30 subjects showed all active drugs superior to placebo by 1 analysis. Aspirin, codeine and acetaminophen were shown superior to both placebo and propoxyphene by a 2nd analysis, and aspirin alone was shown superior to placebo and propoxyphene by a 3rd. More side effects were reported from pentazocine than from other agents.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
