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 will be to show the patient response to analgesics taken post surgery when taken in combination with Theramine as opposed to Theramine-like placebo. The data collected will be used to show that patients have a shorter and lower post operative pain measurement and the time to discontinuation of analgesics is less in the active comparator group.
