Summary and Analysis of Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) (With Imputation) Over 3 Days (72 Hours)
Time Frame: 3 Days (72 hours)
|
Pain Intensity (PI) was assessed on 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine.
Pain Intensity Difference (PID) was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment.
SPID72 was calculated as the time-weighted Sum of PID scores over 72 hours.
The range of SPID72 is from -720 to 720.
The higher value in SPID indicates greater pain relief.
