Intervention Details:
    Drug: Tropisetron
    a comparison of the analgesic action of paracetamol versus tropisetron+paracetamol
    Drug: paracetamol
    a comparison of the analgesic action of paracetamol versus tropisetron+paracetamol
Detailed Description:

The study is a comparison of the analgesic action of paracetamol versus tropisetron + paracetamol in 30 patients who had surgery of the ear. The evaluation criteria will be the score on the visual analogue scale for pain evaluation.
