PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 hours

The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity \[PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)\]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and at protocol-specified time points throughout the 24 hour period. The time-weighted SPID24 is the time-weighted summed PID over the 24-hour study period. A negative score indicates an increase in pain intensity and a higher score indicates a greater decrease in pain intensity.The scores ranged from - 72 to 204.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 48 hours

The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity \[PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)\]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and at protocol-specified time points and throughout the 48 hour period. The time-weighted SPID48 is the time-weighted summed PID over the 48-hour study period. A negative score indicates an increase in pain intensity and a higher score indicates a greater decrease in pain intensity.The scores ranged from -144 to 408.

Timeframe: Up to 72 hours

Population: This assessment was completed by patients who were not sleeping at the time of the assessment, had not withdrawn prematurely, or for whom the assessment was not done in error.

At protocol-specified time points, the patient is asked to self-record his/her current level of pain relief on 5-point numerical rating scale where 0 equaled no pain relief and 4 equaled complete pain relief. The baseline score references the baseline pain intensity score and the following timepoints reference pain relief scores.
