Aim: To Compare The Effect of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and Opioid In Reducing Knee Pain.  Materials and Methods: The present was conducted at Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Prayagraj in orthopedics department. Total of 50 patients were included in the study aged 40-60 years. Results: Patients were prescribed with NSAIDs such as paracetamol prescribed to 4 patients, diclofenac 13 patients, ibuprofen 8 patients and opioid analgesic Oxycodone 07 patients, Acetaminophen/hydrocodone 14 patients and tramadol 04 patients. Patients were followed for every 15 days.
