Abstract
One hundred and thirty-four out-patients suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis were treated for 2 weeks by 1200 mg of Pirprofen (400 mg t.i.d.) 150 mg of Indomethacin (50 mg t.i.d.) or a placebo. On all criteria, the anti-inflammatories were more effective than the placebo (p less than 0.05). The overall therapeutic efficacy was satisfactory in 87% of patients on Pirprofen, 77% on Indomethacin and 26% on placebo.
