title: A controlled study of the analgetic effect of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in cancer pain.
abstract: With a subjective response technique the analgetic activity of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents which greatly differ in kinetics is compared. The double-blind cross-over trial was carried out in 18 patients of both sexes suffering from pain due to malignant tumours who received single doses of 200 mg indoprofen and 250 mg naproxen p.o. Both compounds were efficacious and there was no difference in the duration of their activity in spite of the great difference between their half-lives.
