Numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores at various postoperative timepoints. NRS scores at rest were significantly lower in Group M than Group C before patient discharge from the PACU (P = 0.003), and at 2 (P = 0.008), 4 (P = 0.020), and 8 h (P = 0.016) postoperatively. NRS scores during coughing/swallowing were significantly lower in Group M than Group C at 5 min after tracheal extubation (P = 0.017), before patient discharge from the PACU (P = 0.001), and at 2 (P = 0.002) and 4 h (P = 0.013) postoperatively. Group M, multimodal analgesia group who received ropivacaine locally plus intravenous flurbiprofen axetil; Group C, control group who received a single dose of tramadol; PACU, postoperative anesthetic care unit; *P < 0.05
