Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of Dexketoprofen Trometamol and Tramadol Hydrochloride given in combinations and the analgesic efficacy of each single component in comparison to placebo on moderate to severe pain following impacted third mandibular molar tooth extraction. Ibuprofen will be used as an active control to validate the pain model.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to develop a combination of Dexketoprofen Trometamol (DKP.TRIS) and Tramadol Hydrochloride (TRAM.HCl) for the treatment of acute moderate to severe pain, based on the rationale that more than one drug is necessary in most patients suffering of acute and chronic pain, particularly of moderate to severe intensity.

DKP.TRIS and TRAM.HCl have different mechanisms of action, therefore their combination is expect to result in an additive or synergistic analgesia, thus allowing a decrease in the required doses of the individual agents, and consequently a reduced risk of adverse events In this study, patients who present moderate to severe pain after impacted third mandibular molar tooth extraction will be randomised to a total of 10 treatment arms including 4 combinations of DKP.TRIS + TRAM.HCl, the four corresponding single treatments, placebo and ibuprofen. Treatment administration will be followed by a 24-hour pain and analgesic effect assessment.
