Brief Summary  

Pain after surgery is inevitable and if not adequately controlled can adversely affect both physical and physiological functions. Inadequate relief of postoperative pain can prolong recovery, increase the duration of stay in the hospital and increase health care costs. Unrelieved acute pain is often associated with sleeplessness, anxiety, fear, or demoralization and may lead to the development of chronic pain syndromes. Effective pain management is an important component of post-surgical care.  The latest innovation in this class of compounds with the novel mechanism of action is tapentadol. Tapentadol shares the same dual-action mechanism as tramadol, but is devoid of the the disadvantages of tramadol mentioned. Thus, it represents a theoretical and practical advancement in pain management.To the best of our knowledge, so far there are no studies comparing the analgesic efficacy and tolerability of oral tapentadol-paracetamol combination vs. oral tramadol-paracetamol combination for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing hernia surgery
