A Study of Extended-Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin CR®) in Subjects With Acute Pain Following Bunionectomy

January 24, 2011 updated by: Abbott

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind Study Comparing the Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Extended-Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicodin CR®) to Placebo in Subjects With Acute Pain Following Bunionectomy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (level of pain control) and safety of the administration of Extended-Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen compared to placebo over a 48 hour dosing period in patients who have had bunionectomy surgery and to assess the safety of the drug for 7 days after patients are discharged from the hospital.
