Could a single dose of meloxicam beat ibuprofen for Post-Surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT07200544
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a single dose of meloxicam (a different anti-inflammatory) can control pain better than the usual ibuprofen after Mohs surgery for skin cancer. About 300 adults will be split into three groups, each getting a different pain medicine routine. They will rate their pain and satisfaction through surveys right after surgery and the next day.
