Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male and female outpatients 18 years of age or older.
2. Patients with chronic non-cancer pain that necessitates the use of non-injectable opioid analgesics. The equivalent dose of 300 mg morphine per day is the maximum opioid analgesic dose allowed. In general, patients should be using opioids on a daily basis.
3. Chronic pain which has been present for a minimum of 3 months which needs the chronic use of opioids for pain relief.
4. Constipation, according to the investigator's clinical judgment, that is resulting from opioid use for non-cancer chronic pain. Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is defined as follows:

* less than 3 spontaneous bowel movements per week and at least one of the following on at least 25% of occasions:

1. hard or very hard stools
2. sensation of incomplete evacuation
3. straining while having a bowel movement

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients who are receiving opioids for abdominal pain or connective tissue disorders.
2. Planned discontinuation or an increase or decrease by more than 30% of the current opioid dose
3. Patients who underwent major surgery within 3 months prior to screening.
4. Patients with a history of prior chronic constipation (CC) that was present for more than three months and that was not related to opioid use.
5. Patients with a current diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) constipation predominant or alternators.
