Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)
Ratings of Pain Intensity (PI) were made using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on which 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain possible. The PI values were obtained at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours following the first dose of study medication on Day 1. Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. A summed PID (SPID) on the first postoperative day was calculated at 8 hours.
Time frame: 8 hours postdose

Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. A summed PID (SPID) on the first postoperative day was calculated at 4 and 6 hours.
Time frame: 4 and 6 hours postdose
Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR)
Scores were obtained from the pain relief evaluations by taking a weighted sum of pain relief scores. Pain relief was measured at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours on a 5-point categorical scale where 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief.
Time frame: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose
Pain intensity difference (PID) and pain relief scores
Ratings of Pain Intensity (PI) were made using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on which 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain possible. PID was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. Pain relief was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief.

Time frame: Before receiving study drug (baseline), at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours postdose
Peak PID score
PID was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. Peak PID was defined as the maximum PID score.
Time frame: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose
Peak pain relief scores
Pain relief was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief. Peak pain relief was defined as the maximum peak pain relief score.
Time frame: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose
Time to onset of perceptible pain and meaningful pain relief
The onset of pain relief was measured by the subjects stopping stopwatches when perceptible and meaningful relief was felt.
Time frame: After study drug administration until perceptible and meaningful pain relief was felt (during the 8-hour postdose observation period)
Time to first use of rescue medication
Duration of analgesia represented by the time until rescue analgesic therapy was requested.
Time frame: After study drug administration until rescue analgesic therapy was requested (during the 8-hour postdose observation period)
Proportion of subjects taking rescue medication
Proportion of subjects taking rescue medication in either group during the 8-hour postdose observation period.
Time frame: During 8-hour postdose observation period
Global pain control
The subject was asked the question "How was your pain control overall?" This evaluation was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = poor, 1 = fair, 2 = good, 3 = very good, and 4 = excellent.
Time frame: At the end of the 8-hour observation period, or at the time the subject took rescue analgesic medication if prior to 8 hours
