  • Title: Comparison of fenoprofen calcium, ibuprofen and placebo in primary dysmenorrhea.
    Author: Arnold JD, Iber FL, Burt RA, Gruber CM.
    Journal: J Med; 1983; 14(5-6):337-50. PubMed ID: 6366104.
    Abstract:
    This prospective, double-blind, parallel, two clinic study compared fenoprofen calcium, 200 mg; ibuprofen, 400 mg; and placebo in the treatment of pain due to primary dysmenorrhea. By various criteria, the treatment groups, prior to treatment, were not significantly different (P greater than 0.05) in paired comparisons. However, after oral administration of the study medications, the pain scores were significantly greater (P less than 0.05) for the placebo group than for either other group. The posttreatment pain scores for the fenoprofen and ibuprofen treated groups were not significantly different (P greater than 0.05).
