  1. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Rescue analgesic requirement is presented as number of cases (%). Total analgesic requirement is presented as median (minimum -maximum). Categorical data were compared using a χ2 test with Fisher’s exact test, depending on sample sizes. For continuous outcomes, we compared groups using the Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney U-test
