An open assessment of tenoxicam in the treatment of acute gout in general practice.
N Z Med J 1988 Jan 27; 101:(838):21

Abstract:

The publication of an open noncomparative study of tenoxicam represents all that is reprehensible in pharmaceutical industry sponsored research. The trial also violated two recommendations of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners regarding clincial trials carried out in general practice.
