  • Title: A double-blind comparative study of 150 mg flurbiprofen daily and 75 mg indomethacin daily in the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the hip joint.
    Author: Frank O.
    Journal: Curr Med Res Opin; 1977; 5(1):91-8. PubMed ID: 334478.
    Abstract:
    Thirty patients with osteoarthrosis of the hip were studied in a double-blind crossover comparison of 150 mg flurbiprofen daily and 75 mg indomethacin daily, each drug being given for 2 weeks separated by a wash-out period of 1 week on placebo. Statistical analysis of the results from 26 patients with complete records showed that both drugs produced statistically significant improvements over baseline after 1 and 2 weeks in assessments of severity of pain, night pain, duration of morning stiffness, and intermalleolar straddle. No statistical differences, however, were found between the two drugs. There were no reports of side-effects with flurbiprofen, but 6 reports from 3 patients whilst receiving indomethacin.
