Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4, 0-6 and 0-8 hours post-dose

Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4, 0-6 and 0-8 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief).

Time frame
4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose
2

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose. The pain intensity will be assessed using a Categorical 4-point scale (0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain).

Time frame
4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes

1

Pain intensity (PI) over time

PI score assessed 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose

Time frame
0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose
2

Use of rescue medication

Proportion of participants who used rescue medication in the first 8 hours after the first drug intake and time elapsed between the last drug intake and the first administration of rescue medication.

Time frame
8 hours post-dose
3
