Exclusion Criteria

  2. Have a history or clinical manifestations of significant cerebrovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, endocrine, neurological, psychiatric systemic diseases, or advanced malignant tumors, and judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.

  3. Have a history of migraine, anxiety,seizures, cognitive dysfunction, or other psychiatric or neurological disorders that the investigator believes may interfere with the study evaluation.

  4. Participants with the following cardiovascular diseases or history:

    1. Severe cardiovascular diseases, NYHA heart function class II or above, myocardial infarction, angina, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within the preceding 12 months, severe arrhythmias, or abnormal ECG during the screening period judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.
    2. Resting systolic blood pressure ≥160mmHg in a sitting or lying position, and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100mmHg during the screening period, from the signing of the informed consent to before anesthesia induction.
    3. Clinically significant respiratory insufficiency, hypotension, bradycardia occurring intraoperatively or postoperatively before randomization, judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.
  5. Have another painful physical condition judged by the investigator that may confound the assessments of post operative pain.

  6. Have (within 12 months) gastrointestinal ulceration, erforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, or abdominal surgery before the screening period judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.

  7. Have a known bleeding disorder or be taking agents affecting coagulation judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.

  8. Participants at high risk of bleeding, including those with congenital bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia), thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 0.75× the lower limit of normal), or abnormal platelet function (e.g., idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, disseminated intravascular coagulation, congenital platelet dysfunction).

  9. ALT or AST >2 ULN, TBIL >1.5 ULN, PT >ULN+3s, APTT ≥ULN+10s, Cr ≥1.5×ULN during the screening period, or any laboratory abnormalities judged by the investigator at screening and/or before surgery that may increase the risk of participation.

  10. Blood glucose ≥11.1mmol/L from the screening period to before anesthesia induction.

  11. Use of the following drugs (not exceeding 5 half-lives of the drug) before randomization, except for anesthetics and sedative/analgesic drugs used preoperatively for invasive examinations as allowed by the protocol: NSAIDs (including compound preparations containing NSAIDs), opioids, anesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, other central nervous system inhibitors with analgesic effects, and glucocorticoids (excluding topical and inhaled medications).

  12. Use traditional Chinese medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines that could interfere with the evaluation of efficacy or safety judged by the investigator.

  13. Have been receiving or have received opioid therapy defined Long-term use (continuous use ≥3 days) of opioid analgesics within 14 days before the screening period.

  14. Have a history of alcohol abuse (regularly drinks > 14 units of alcohol per day: 1 unit = 360mL beer or 45mL of 40 % spirits or 150mL wine) within the past 2 years or a history of acute alcohol intoxication, alcohol dependence, drug abuse.

  15. Have received any drug/device clinical trials within 3 months before dosing with study medication.

  16. Have other conditions that make the subject unsuitable for participation in the clinical study in the opinion of the investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Summed Pain Intensity Difference Over the First 24 Hours (SPID24)24 Hours

Pain intensity was recorded using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (Range 0-10) where 0 equates to no pain (better), and 10 equates to the worst pain imaginable (worse). Pain intensity scores were to be recorded at the following time points: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours post Dose1. Pain intensity differences from baseline at each time point were calculated and a time weighted summed pain intensity difference (SPID) was then calculated. Time weighted SPID calculations were computed by multiplying a weight factor to each score prior to summation. The weight factor at each time point was the time elapsed since the previous observation. A smaller SPID value (i.e. more negative) was better.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) at Other Intervals48 Hours

Pain intensity was recorded using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (Range 0-10) where 0 equates to no pain (better), and 10 equates to the worst pain imaginable (worse). Pain intensity scores were to be recorded at the following time points: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours hours post Dose1. Thereafter pain assessments were to be recorded every 6 hours until 48 hours post Dose 1. Pain intensity differences from baseline at each time point were calculated and a time weighted summed pain intensity difference (SPID) was then calculated. Time weighted SPID calculations were computed by multiplying a weight factor to each score prior to summation. The weight factor at each time point was the time elapsed since the previous observation. A smaller SPID value (i.e. more negative) was better.

Proportion of Participants Utilizing Rescue Analgesia48 Hours

Rescue analgesia (Morphine Hydrochloride Injection 2mg) was available to Participants with inadequately controlled pain upon request.

Number of Doses of Rescue Analgesia Utilized Subject48 Hours

Rescue analgesia (Morphine Hydrochloride Injection 2mg) was available to Participants with inadequately controlled pain upon request.

Number of Times of Rescue Analgesia Utilized Subject48 Hours

Rescue analgesia (Morphine Hydrochloride Injection 2mg) was available to Participants with inadequately controlled pain upon request.

TOTPAR (Total Pain Relief)48 Hours

Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-12 hours,0-18 hours,0-24 hours,0-48 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = Mild relief, 2 = Moderate relief, 3 = Marked relief, 4 = complete relief)

Time to First Dose of Rescue Analgesia48 Hours

Rescue analgesia (Morphine Hydrochloride Injection 2mg) was available to Participants with inadequately controlled pain upon request.

Investigator and subject satisfaction scores for analgesic treatment48 Hours

Satisfaction scores will be evaluate using a 5 point scale (0-4) with categories of 0-poor, 1-fair, 2-good, 3-very good, or 4-excellent.
