Time-weighted SPID30
time-weighted SPID30 is the sum of the pain intensity difference (PID) over the 30 minute time period. A pain intensity score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worse possible pain) is recorded at pre-dose, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes post-dose. The pain score at each assessment time through 30 minutes is subtracted from the baseline pain score to provide the total sum score or SPID30. A higher SPID30 is better and indicates a reduction in pain intensity compared to the baseline score.
Time frame: 30 minutes after dosing
