What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Total Patient Pain Relief Over 0 to 8 Hours.	Total patient pain relief was assessed as a time-weighted sum of the patient pain assessments at each individual time point from 0-8 hours. Values for TOTPAR are measured from 0 to 4 on the Pain Relief Scale 0 None Min; 1 A little; 2 Some; 3 A lot; 4 Complete Max The TOTPAR is a weighted measure of the observations; the minimum possible value is 0 and the maximum possible value is 32.	8 hours
