Extradural corticosteroid injection in management of lumbar nerve root compression.

The effect of extradural corticosteroid injection in patients with nerve root compression syndromes associated with degenerative disease of the lumbar intervertebral discs was assessed in a double-blind controlled trial on 100 consecutive inpatients assigned by random allocation to treatment and control groups. Assessment during admission and at three months revealed statistically highly significant differences in respect of relief of pain and resumption of normal occupation in favour of the group treated by extradural injection. This treatment seems to be a valuable adjunct to the management of lumbar nerve root compression syndromes associated with degenerative disc disease.

Orudis in management of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthrosis of the hip: comparison with indomethacin.

In double-blind cross-over studies in 46 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in 42 patients with osteoarthrosis of the hip, Orudis-a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent-has been shown to be well tolerated and to have comparable therapeutic efficacy with indomethacin when given in equal dosage. Side effects were less severe with Orudis. The results suggest that Orudis will prove valuable in the clinical management of rheumatic diseases.

Comparison of aspirin and benorylate in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

In a double-blind between-patient study of aspirin and benorylate carried out in 72 outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis, benorylate 4 g twice daily was shown to be an effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, its effects being indistinguishable from those of aspirin 1.2 g four times daily. Compared with the pretreatment values both drugs produced a statistically significant improvement (P < 0.01) in functional grade, overall pain, articular index, and grip strength at the end of the first and second weeks. The overall incidence of side effects was less with benorylate, though this difference was not significant at the 5% level.
