A comparative trial of tiaprofenic acid ('Surgam') versus aspirin in the control of pain following injury.

Abstract	A double-blind, non-crossover, randomized trial was carried out in 50 patients suffering from pain following trauma to compare the therapeutic effectiveness and tolerance of 200 mg tiaprofenic acid and 600 mg aspirin given 3-times daily for 7 days. Both drugs were found to be equally effective in relieving pain but side-effects were significantly fewer in the tiaprofenic acid-treated group.
