RESUMO
Objective To investigate the efficacy of flurbiprofen cataplasms to muscle strain in patients with gastrointestinal diseases.Methods Patients with muscle strain were divided into flurbiprofen cataplasms group (with gastrointestinal diseases,20 cases) and flurbiprofen tablets group (without gastrointestinal diseases,22 cases).Before and 1,2,4 and 7 days after treatment,the numeric rating score (NRS) were evaluated and pain relief (PR),effective rate (ER) and satisfied rate (SR) were calculated and side effects were observed.Results There was no significant difference between flurbiprofen cataplasms group and flurbiprofen tablets group at 1,2,4 and 7 days after treatment [ER:80％ (16/20) vs.82％(18/22),90％(18/20) vs.100％(22/22),95％(19/20) vs.100％(22/22),95％(19/20) vs.95％(21/22)；SR:60％ (12/20) vs.82％ (18/22),90％ (18/20) vs.95％ (21/22),90％ (18/20) vs.95％ (21/22),95％(19/20) vs.95％ (21/22),P ＞ 0.05].There was no side effects in two groups.Conclusion Flurbiprofen cataplasms may alleviate the muscle strain effectively,especially suitable for patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
