Ibuprofen and ibuprofen + paracetamol are widely used for pain relief, but they have distinct mechanisms and clinical profiles that differ significantly. Ibuprofen is an opioid analgesic that inhibits gastric acid production. On the other hand, paracetamol is an anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits gastric acid secretion. The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ibuprofen + paracetamol against ibuprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen in reducing pain.
This study was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in 32 primary care centers located in the United States. The study population consisted of adults who were taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for acute pain, acetaminophen plus ibuprofen for acute pain, or acetaminophen plus paracetamol for acute pain.
Ibuprofen (500 mg) was administered as a single dose, ibuprofen plus paracetamol (300 mg), or placebo (200 mg). Participants were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind fashion, and compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Participants were randomized to receive either ibuprofen or ibuprofen plus paracetamol. Participants were also assigned to receive either ibuprofen or ibuprofen + paracetamol, as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
All participants underwent an initial assessment at baseline, followed by at least a week after randomization. Participants were evaluated for pain relief, and at least 1 pain episode was assessed during this assessment. During the baseline assessment, participants were asked about their pain, and each participant was assessed during an additional 1-month period. Participants received a self-report measure for pain severity and a self-report measure for pain duration. A total of 4,849 participants were enrolled, of whom 1,972 completed the study. Of these, 3,071 were excluded because they were not using a medication as an add-on to ibuprofen for pain control, or participants had incomplete data for the pain measurement. The study was conducted at a single center.
Ibuprofen plus paracetamol (300 mg) was administered as a single dose, ibuprofen plus ibuprofen (300 mg), or placebo (200 mg) in a randomized fashion, and participants were assessed during a single-blind visit, and participants were compared with the control group. Participants were also assessed for pain intensity at baseline, and were compared with the control group. At week 24, participants received a self-report measure for pain severity and a self-report measure for pain duration. Participants were also evaluated for the number of participants who were rated as being in pain (defined as more than 2 participants per week) by their primary care clinician. Participants also were evaluated for pain intensity at baseline, and were compared with the control group. Participants were also assessed for the number of participants who were rated as being in pain (defined as less than 1 participant per week) by their primary care clinician. Participants also were evaluated for the number of participants who were rated as being in pain (defined as more than 1 participant per week) by their primary care clinician.
