Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain Intensity Difference (PID) From Pre-dose Baseline to 8h After the First Trial Medication Application (PID8h)Baseline and 8 hours after trial medication application

Pain intensity (PI) was assessed on a 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible) at pre-dose baseline and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hours after trial medication application.

The left side of each scale (0) is marked 'no pain' and the right side of the scale (10) is marked 'worst pain possible'.

PID8h= Pain intensity (PI)8h - PI(baseline).

Means reported are the adjusted means.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain Intensity Difference (PID) From Pre-dose Baseline to 4 Hours After the First Trial Medication Application (PID4h)Baseline and 4 hours after trial medication application

Pain intensity was assessed on a 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible) at pre-dose baseline and 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after trial medication application. The left side of each scale (0) is marked 'no pain' and the right side of the scale (10) is marked 'worst pain possible'. PID4h= PI(4h) - PI(baseline). Means reported are the adjusted means.

Difference of Average Pain Intensity (APID) From Pre-dose Baseline on the Last Individual Treatment DayBaseline and 1 to 4 days

Difference of average pain intensity from pre-dose baseline on the last individual treatment day (The last individual treatment day was the last day on which the patient had recorded the study drug applications within the patient diary). Pain intensity was assessed by the patient using 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS).

Patients were given two 0-10 numerical rating scales (NRS) - to self-report of pain intensity at given time points for the period 0-8 hours post first dose and to self-report of average pain intensity they had at each treatment day. The left side of each scale (0) is marked 'no pain' and the right side of the scale (10) is marked 'worst pain possible'. APIDtime point = APItime point - PI baseline (time point is the last individual treatment day (either Day 1, 2, 3 or 4 after drug administration)).

Means reported are the adjusted means.

Patient's Assessment of the Efficacy on the Last Individual Treatment Day1 to 4 days

Patients were asked to rate the effect of the study medication for relieving their low back pain using a 4-point verbal rating scale (1=Poor, 2= Fair, 3=Good, 4=Very Good).
