An acute pain syndrome or an increase in chronic pain is quite common in the practice of a clinician. At the same time, an acute pain even for a short-term period can cause a lot of discomfort to patients. It is important to emphasize that in most cases untimely and inadequate treatment of acute pain transforms it into a chronic one, which, in turn, complicates its correction. Knowledge of the mechanisms of the pain development can help the doctor to choose the treatment and appropriate means for correcting painful sensations. One of the main tools for the treatment of acute and chronic pain in a wide range of diseases and pathological conditions are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which have not only anti-inflammatory effects, but also influence both the peripheral and the central mechanism of algesia. Thus, these drugs have a significant advantage over other symptomatic analgesic means not only in terms of the therapeutic effect, but also in safety. Ketorol, a non-narcotic analgesic drug, has a pronounced rapid analgesic effect and a proven safety in short therapy courses.

Key words: acute pain, algebra, pain correction, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Ketorol.
