Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Summed, Time-weighted Pain Intensity Difference From 0 to 24 Hours Postdose (SPID0-24)
Time Frame: From 0 to 24 hours post-dose
SPID0-24 was calculated by multiplying the pain intensity difference score at each post-dose timepoint by the duration (in hours) since the preceding timepoint and then summing these values over 0 to 24 hours. Pain intensity was measured at baseline, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours using the 4-point categorical pain intensity scale: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. SPID0-24 can vary from -24 to 72. The positive SPID value indicates improvement of pain relief. The higher the SPID value, the more improvement of pain relief.
From 0 to 24 hours post-dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Summed, Time-weighted Pain Intensity Differences (SPID)
Time Frame: 0-6, 0-8, 0-12, 0-16 and 16-24 hours postdose
Pain intensity was measured at baseline, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours using the 4-point categorical pain intensity scale: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. The total possible score ranges of SPIDs are SPID0-6: -6 to 18, SPID0-8: -8 to 24, SPID0-12: -12 to 36, SPID0-16: -16 to 48, SPID16-24: -8 to 24. The positive SPID value indicates improvement of pain relief. The higher the SPID value, the more improvement of pain relief.
0-6, 0-8, 0-12, 0-16 and 16-24 hours postdose
Summed, Time-weighted Total Pain Relief Scores (TOTPARs)
Time Frame: 0-6, 0-8, 0-12, 0-16, 0-24, and 16-24 hours postdose
TOTPARs were derived by multiplying the pain relief score at each post-dose timepoint by the duration (in hours) since the preceding timepoint and then summing these values over the specified interval. Pain Relief was evaluated at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose, using the 5-point overall pain relief scale: 0 = No relief, 1 = A little relief, 2 = Some relief, 3 = A lot of relief, 4 = Complete relief. The possible total score ranges of TOTPARs are: TOTPAR0-6: 0 to 18, TOTPAR0-8: 0 to 24, TOTPAR0-12: 0 to 36, TOTPAR0-16: 0 to 48, TOTPAR0-24: 0 to 72, TOTPAR16-24: 0 to 24.
0-6, 0-8, 0-12, 0-16, 0-24, and 16-24 hours postdose
Pain Intensity Differences (PIDs) by Time From Initial Dose
Time Frame: At 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
Pain intensity was evaluated using a 4-point Categorical Pain Intensity Rating Scale: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe
At 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
Pain Relief From Initial Dose
Time Frame: At 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
Pain Relief was evaluated using the 5-point overall pain relief scale: 0 = No relief, 1 = A little relief, 2 = Some relief, 3 = A lot of relief, 4 = Complete relief
At 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
Median Time to First Intake of Rescue Medication
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours postdose
Time to first use of rescue medication was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and analyzed by a logrank test stratified by baseline pain intensity. If at least 50% of subjects in a treatment group took rescue medication, the median time to first rescue was determined for that treatment group.
Up to 24 hours postdose
Cumulative Percentage of Participants Who Took Rescue Medication
Time Frame: At 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
At 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours postdose
Number of Times the Participants Took Rescue Medication Over the 24-hour Period
Time Frame: 24 hours postdose
24 hours postdose
Global Assessment of the Investigational Product as a Pain Reliever
Time Frame: 24 hours postdose or immediately before the first intake of rescue medication
Global assessment of investigational product as a pain reliever was rated on a 5-point categorical scale: 0 = poor, 1 = fair, 2 = good, 3 = very good, 4 = excellent
24 hours postdose or immediately before the first intake of rescue medication
