*OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy of single doses of intramuscular ketorolac and oral ibuprofen in the emergency department (ED) treatment of acute pain.  
*AIM: To test the evidence for a difference in analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) given by different routes.  
*DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of data collected during a prospective survey of pain management efficacy. The design was noninterventional, and therapy was selected by the treating physician independent of the trial.  
*METHODS: Systematic review of published randomised controlled trials. Relevant trials were comparisons of the same drug given by different routes. Presence of internal sensitivity was sought as a validity criterion. Analgesic and adverse effect outcomes were summarised, and synthesised qualitatively.  
*SETTING: Urban teaching hospital adult patient emergency department.
*RESULTS: In 26 trials (2225 analysed patients), 8 different NSAIDs were tested in 58 comparisons. Fifteen trials (58%) compared the same drug by different routes. Drugs were given by intravenous, intramuscular, intrawound, rectal and oral routes in postoperative pain (14 trials), renal colic (4), acute musculoskeletal pain (1), dysmenorrhoea (1), and rheumatoid arthritis (6). Five of the 15 direct comparisons were invalid because they reported no difference between routes but without evidence of internal sensitivity. In all 3 direct comparisons in renal colic, intravenous NSAID had a faster onset of action than intramuscular or rectal. In 1 direct comparison in dysmenorrhoea, oral NSAID was better than rectal. In the 5 direct comparisons in postoperative pain, results were inconsistent. In 1 direct comparison in rheumatoid arthritis, intramuscular NSAID was better than oral. Injected and rectal administration had some specific adverse effects.  
*PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample of ED patients in acute pain.  
*CONCLUSION: In renal colic there is evidence that NSAIDs act quickest when given intravenously. This may be clinically relevant. In all other pain conditions there is a lack of evidence of any difference between routes. In pain conditions other than renal colic, there is, therefore, a strong argument to give oral NSAIDs when patients can swallow.
*INTERVENTIONS: Patients received ibuprofen 800 mg po (n = 95), or ketorolac 60 mg im (n = 30) as a single dose. Therapy was selected by the treating physician and was not influenced by the study.  
*RESULTS: Data collected were a 100-mm visual analog pain scale at patient arrival and discharge, verbal description of pain relief, patient demographics, pain management data, and discharge diagnosis. Baseline pain intensity was higher in patients receiving ketorolac (77 mm median) than in those receiving ibuprofen (65 mm, p = 0.02). Pain relief was similar (p = 0.29) with either treatment when assessed by visual analog scale or patient definition of pain relief. CONCLUSIONS: A single dose of either nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug produced similar pain relief in the general ED population during clinical treatment of pain. Ketorolac should not necessarily be considered a more effective analgesic than ibuprofen in these commonly used doses.
