The real dimension of analgesic activity of aspirin

Thromb Res. 2003 Jun 15;110(5-6):361-4. doi: 10.1016/j.thromres.2003.08.009.

Abstract

Aspirin, despite being 100-years old, even in the era of evidence-based medicine, remains a valuable analgesic. Results of randomized trials have shown that it is as well effective and safe as other analgesics in relieving mild pain and can be used in the first-line therapy of migraine.
