Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Safety and Effectiveness Study of SABER®-Bupivacaine for Pain Following Shoulder Surgery (NCT NCT00818363)

NCT ID: NCT00818363

Last Updated: 2021-06-01

Results Overview

Mean pain intensity on movement AUC (time normalized area under the curve) during the period 0 to 72 hours post-dose. Subjects assessed their pain intensity using an 11-point Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS) with NRS scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). The pain intensity AUC on movement was computed for each subject using the standard trapezoidal rule. For the purpose of better clinical interpretability of the pain AUC, a normalized AUC was computed by dividing it using the time-interval length over which it was computed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 to 48 hours post-dose

Mean pain intensity on movement AUC (time-normalized AUC) during the period 0 to 48 hours post-dose (0 to 2 days post-dose). Subjects assessed their pain intensity using an 11-point Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS) with NRS scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). The pain intensity AUC on movement was computed for each subject using the standard trapezoidal rule. For the purpose of better clinical interpretability of the pain AUC, a normalized AUC was computed by dividing it using the time-interval length over which it was computed.
