Comparison of Adjunctive Use of Rofecoxib versus Ibuprofen in the Management of Postoperative Pain after Uterine Artery Embolization

Embolic agent appeared to have a greater impact, with patients in the Embosphere Gold group reporting higher pain scores and those in the Contour SE group requiring a lower amount of narcotic drug than those in the Embosphere Gold or Embosphere groups.
