NCT04849468

Brief Summary

The research will be carried out in order to test the effect of Intramuscular (IM) Diclofenac, administered as preemptive analgesic with minimal effective dose spinal anesthesia in perianal surgeries, on prolonging the time to first request for analgesic and lowering analgesic consumption. Investigators hypothesized that using IM Diclofenac in this surgery will postpone the time to first analgesic request and will decrease the consumption of post-operative analgesics. Our method includes dividing the patients into control and study groups and recording the first analgesic request and post-operative analgesic consumption after surgery and comparing the results.
