Abstract: We evaluated 30 patient charts to determine
the effectiveness of a topically applied
combination of indomethacin and
piroxicam in the treatment of osteopathologic
pain of various intensities
in hospice patients. The study was designed
as a retrospective follow-up to determine
whether that combination of drugs resulted
in pain reduction. The level of pain
experienced by each subject was noted at
three intervals after the administration of
the topical indomethacin and piroxicam
combination in gel form. Patients’ pain
scores were reduced by a median of 2
points on a 10-point scale; those results
did not reach statistical significance.
Twenty-one of the 30 subjects treated
with the combination of topically applied
indomethacin and piroxicam noted an improvement
in their pain score.
