A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study of single-dose intravenous diclofenac for pain relief after a cesarean section.

CONCLUSION: Intramuscular diclofenac (75 mg), modified by diluting it with 5% dextrose in 100 mL of water, for intravenous administration in combination with spinal morphine (0.2 mg) provided good analgesia after a cesarean section within 24 hours when assessed by the pain-relief scale; however, the mean pain intensity was not different.
