title: [Study on the preemptive analgesia effects of both the parecoxib sodium and the pentazocine in patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the preemptive analgesia effects of both the parecoxib sodium and the pentazocine in patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the randomized, double blind, controlled study, 120 patients undergoing septoplasty were divided into 3 groups (n = 40): group A received parecoxib 40 mg by muscle injection 30 min before the operation; group B received pentazocine 30 mg; group C received an equal volume of saline. The preemptive analgesia effect was evaluated with VAS scores which recorded at different time points. The proportion of participants using rescue analgesia after the operation were recorded as additional measures of preemptive analgesia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Intra-operative as well as the postoperative pain scores were less in the group A and group B than in the control group. Fewer participants required rescue medication after operation with parecoxib as well as pentazocine than placebo. However there were no difference in the preemptive effects between the group A and group B.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Administration of both the parecoxib and pentazocine before the nasal endoscopic surgery can provide preemptive analgesia without serious adverse side effects that deserves popularization in the clinic.
