This study was conducted at Eye department Military Hospital Rawalpindi. One hundred cases were randomly selected and grouped into two namely A and B. Group A received 1 mg of nalbuphine and in Group B surgery was performed without any intravenous sedative or analgesic. Visual Analog Scale was used to measure the pain intensity. Our study has shown that forty patients in Group A had no pain following injection of Nalbuphine as compared to zero patients in Group B ( p<0.001). Similarly ten patients in Group A had mild pain following injection of Nalbuphine as compared with 27 patients in Group B (p<0.005). According to this study it was found that 1 mg of nalbuphine provides adequate pain relief.
