Evaluation of the Added Value of Metamizole to Standard Post-operative Treatment After Ambulant Surgery

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate if the addition of metamizole to the standard post-operative treatment, i.e. paracetamol and ibuprofen, is superior in reducing post-operative pain on day 1 after ambulatory surgery compared to the standard post-operative treatment. Therefore, a mono-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled superiority trail will be designed in order to investigate superiority of metamizole compared to the standard post-operative treatment in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
