title: [Nimesulide in the treatment of postoperative pain in minor orthopedic surgery].
abstract: The study assesses the effect of Nimesulide in the treatment of post-operative pain in minor orthopedic surgery. Twenty-five patients who had received regional peridural or subarachnoid anesthesia were included in the study. After a variable interval of 60 to 90 minutes, the average level of pain, evaluated using a "pain score", was considerably reduced. This effect lasted for an average of 360 +/- 120 minutes. There were minimum side-effects.
