Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy of ibuprofen and paracetamol in the control of orthodontic pain.
Previous research has shown that ibuprofen provides effective relief from orthodontic pain. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) provided pain relief of equivalent or greater magnitude. ⋯ A combination of preoperative and postoperative ibuprofen is more effective than paracetamol in the control of orthodontic pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Ibuprofen versus paracetamol in pediatric fever: objective and subjective findings from a randomized, blinded study.
The main objective of this study was to compare the single-dose efficacy of 15 mg/kg paracetamol (acetaminophen) versus 10 mg/kg ibuprofen in a general practice setting. ⋯ Ibuprofen at a dose of 10 mg/kg and paracetamol at a dose of 15 mg/kg have equivalent efficacy and tolerability; parental opinion in favor of ibuprofen could be explained by additional benefits of ibuprofen that were not measured in this trial and helped allay their anxiety over the treatment of their child.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyAceclofenac vs paracetamol in the management of symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee: a double-blind 6-week randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of aceclofenac, 200 mg/day, and paracetamol, 3000 mg/day, in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. ⋯ At 6 weeks, patients with symptomatic OA of the knee showed a greater improvement in pain and functional capacity with aceclofenac than paracetamol with no difference in tolerability.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Cost analysis applied to postoperative analgesia regimens: a comparison between parecoxib and propacetamol.
Postoperative pain management represents a significant part of perioperative costs. Non-opioid analgesics are often used in combination with opiates to improve pain relief and reduce opioid-related side effects. ⋯ Parecoxib exhibits higher cost and greater patient satisfaction than does propacetamol. From a cost-efficacy approach, incremental cost per additional patient satisfied for parecoxib treatment must be analysed in light of overall perioperative pharmaceutical cost.
