Side effects if any were noted. Results: Table no 1 presents the demographic data of participants. There was no significant difference in age between the two groups. There was no significant difference in height and weight of the two groups. Baseline pain scores were not significantly different between the two groups. Post intervention pain score was significantly lower in group 1 when compared with group 2. Conclusion: The study results confirm that flupirtine was effective in the management of post surgical pain Further detailed studies are recommended in this area.
