Abstract
This prospective, double-blind, parallel, 2 clinic study compared [the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors] fenoprofen calcium, 200 mg; ibuprofen, 400 mg [antiinflammatory analgesics]; and placebo in the treatment of pain due to primary dysmenorrhea. By various criteria, the treatment groups, prior to treatment, were not significantly different (P > 0.05] in paired comparisons. After oral administration of the study medications, the pain scores were significantly greater (P < 0.05) for the placebo group than for the other groups. The posttreatment pain scores for the fenoprofen- and ibuprofen-treated groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05).
