Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate Postoperative Analgesia in Subjects Undergoing Hemorrhoidectomy (NCT NCT00744848)

NCT ID: NCT00744848

Last Updated: 2013-08-06

Results Overview

To assess pain intensity at rest (NRS-R), the subject was to assume a resting position that did not exacerbate his or her postoperative pain. The subject was to rest in this position for at least 5 minutes before responding to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?"

Timeframe: through 96 hours

Population: Note: 204 randomized subjects received study drug and were included in the analyses.

To assess pain intensity at rest (NRS-R), the subject was to assume a resting position that did not exacerbate his or her postoperative pain. The subject was to rest in this position for at least 5 minutes before responding to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?"
