Abstract
Uterine cramping pain is related to prostaglandins, which are mediated by cyclooxygenase. However, it is unknown whether the analgesic effects of the non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor tenoxicam are different between primiparous and multiparous women. This placebo-controlled, double-blind study compared the analgesic effect of tenoxicam on post-cesarean uterine cramping pain in primiparous and multiparous women.
