Two dose-levels of nefopam hydrochloride (i.e. 30 mg and 60 mg) were compared with two dose-levels of aspirin (i.e. 300 mg and 600 mg) and placebo in 125 male patients having pain associated with muscle disorders. Drugs were given as a single dose and pain intensity and side-effects monitored at thirty minutes and then hourly for four hours. Time-course action of the drugs revealed that aspirin 300 mg failed to achieve statistically significant analgesia at any post-treatment observation… Expand

Oral nefopam and aspirin
TLDR
Treatment effects were consistent and indicative of good dose response to both active medications, and pain relief scores were more variable but were generally in accordance with SPID values. Expand
The Analgesic and Hypothermic Effects of Nefopam, Morphine, Aspirin, Diphenhydramine, and Placebo
TLDR
No statistically significant differences in pain intensity or relief were seen for nefopam (Acupan), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), aspirin, or placebo despite a numerically higher score for ne fopam despite a unexpectantly high placebo response. Expand
Nefopam and propoxyphene in episiotomy pain
TLDR
It is suggested that 45‐ and 90‐mg doses of nefopam induced more analgesia than 65 mg propoxyphene in the relief of episiotomy pain, suggesting that the effectiveness of 65mg propoxyhene lay between 45 mg ne fopam and placebo. Expand
Nefopam: A Review of its Pharmacological Properties and Therapeutic Efficacy
TLDR
Nefopam is a non-narcotic analgesic not structurally related to other analgesic drugs, and when appropriate dose ratios were compared in short term studies it was shown to produce analgesia comparable to that with the oral analgesics aspirin, dextropropoxyphene and pentazocine, as well as that with ‘moderate’ doses of parenteral morphine, pethidine and pentacine.

Assessment of the analgesic efficacy of nefopam hydrochloride after upper abdominal surgery: A study using patient controlled analgesia
TLDR
It is confirmed that nefopam hydrochloride has significant analgesic effects and would be a useful supplement to morphine in the management of postoperative pain. Expand
A double-blind comparison of nefopam and placebo in post-operative pain.
TLDR
Nefopam was found by observer preference to be significantly better than placebo in relieving post-operative pain in patients who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy operations. Expand
In vitro biochemical effects of nefopam hydrochloride, a new analgesic agent.
TLDR
Nefopam hydrochloride (Acupan) was a very weak inhibitor of [3H]naloxone binding to brain homogenates and nefopam was a potent inhibitor of synaptosomal uptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Expand
Old is Gold? Nefopam Hydrochloride, a Non-opioid and Non-steroidal Analgesic Drug and Its Practical One-Pot Synthesis in a Single Solvent for Large-Scale Production
Nefopam hydrochloride is extensively used in most of the European countries until today as an analgesic because of its non-opiate (non-narcotic) and non-steroidal action with fewer side effects… Expand
Development of UV Spectroscopic Method for Nefopam and Escitalopram as INN Drugs in Tablet Dosage Form
Nefopam and Escitalopram are INN drugs and as such it has not been yet included in the BP or USP. The objective of this work is to develop a simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and reproducible… Expand

TLDR
A new analgesic compound, nefopam HCl, was studied for possible gastrointestinal blood loss liabilities by Cr-51 red cell tagging and showed a significant increase in occult bleeding in the aspirin-treated subjects, compared with aspirin in usual therapeutic doses. Expand

TLDR
Results of the patients’ global evaluation of the medications shows that all of the treatments were rated significantly higher than placebo, with the exception of triazolam, 0.4 mg, which was not significantly different from flurazepam, 15 or 30 mg, or from placebo. Expand
