Study Type Interventional
Study Design Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment;   Masking: None (Open Label);   Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition Acute Pain
Intervention Drug: Ketorolac Nasal Spray
Enrollment 28
Recruitment Details Consecutive patients in PENN periodontal clinic or faculty practice requiring 1 to 3 dental implants employing lidocaine with epinephrine for anesthesia without significant bone augmentation
Pre-assignment Details Subjects not experiencing moderate pain (at least 40 mm on the pain intensity VAS and moderate or severe pain on the 4-point categorical scale) within 4 hours of surgery were not dosed with ketorolac. Of the 28 enrolled subjects, 25 (89%) achieved at least moderate pain and were dosed.

Comments Changes in pain intensity on the VAS were statistically compared to baseline pain utilizing paired t tests with Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons. The median onsets of first perceptible and meaningful relief (with 95% confidence intervals) were calculated and then used to construct Kaplan-Meier Curves of the distribution of pain relief times.

The major weakness of this study was its open-label design and lack of a placebo control and an active comparator drug. The study was also not powered to determine differences between the sites of implant placement and the number of implants placed.
