Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Response Based on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) of "Much Better" in Episode 1At 4 hours after intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 1

At episode 1, after the intake of first tablet of study medication, the patient then responded to the question of "Compared to just before you took the first tablet of study medication, how would you rate your abdominal pain associated with cramping now?" based on the Patient global impression of change (PGI-C), using the available responses: "Much better", "Somewhat better", "A little better", "No change", "A little worse", and "Somewhat worse".

Time to Relief in Episode 2From intake of first tablet of study medication up to 4 hours thereafter in episode 2

Time from intake of first tablet of study medication to first response of "no pain" (numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) = 0) in episode 2.

Number of Tablets of Study Medication TakenFrom intake of first tablet of study medication up to 4 hours thereafter in each episode.

Number of tablets of study medication taken in each of the two episode.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) Calculated From the Responses to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Scores in Episode 1At baseline (prior to intake of first tablet of study medication for episode 1) and 15 minutes(min), 30min, 45min, 1 hour(h), 1h30min, 2h, 2h30min, 3h, 3h30min, and 4h thereafter.

The intensity of Abdominal pain associated with cramping was rated on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

Percentage of Participants With Response of "no Pain" Based on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in Episode 1At 4 hours after intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 1

The intensity of Abdominal pain associated with cramping was rated on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Responses of "no pain" (NPRS = 0) based on the 0 to 10 point NPRS scale were summarized.

Change From Baseline in Intensity of Abdominal Pain Associated With Cramping Following Treatment Based on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in Episode 2At baseline (prior to intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 2) until 4 hours thereafter or until the patient had responded that their pain was absent, up to 4 hours.

The intensity of Abdominal pain associated with cramping was rated on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

Percentage of Participants With Response of no Pain Based on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in Episode 2At 4 hours after intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 2

The intensity of Abdominal pain associated with cramping was rated on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Responses of "no pain" (NPRS = 0) based on the 0 to 10 point NPRS scale were summarized.

Change From Baseline in Intensity of Abdominal Pain Associated With Cramping Following Treatment Based on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in Episode 1At baseline (prior to intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 1) until 4 hours thereafter or until the patient had responded that their pain was absent, up to 4 hours

The intensity of Abdominal pain associated with cramping was rated on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

Percentage of Participants With Response Based on the 4-point Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) of "Very Satisfied" in Episode 2At 4 hours after intake of first tablet of study medication in episode 2
