Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Shapiro Wilk test was used to check the normality of distribution of data. Descriptive statistics were applied for mean age and post operative pain scores at various time intervals. Frequency of gender and additional use of Nalbuphine was determined in both study groups. Mean pain scores were compared between both study groups using Mann Whitney U test while frequency of additional Nalbuphine consumption as per dosage were compared between study groups using Fischer’s Exact Test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
