Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in Resting Stage at 6hour (6hour±20 Minutes After Administration of First Dose)

Time Frame: Baseline and 6h (±20min)

To measure resting VAS at 6h(±20min) after administration of first dose, assessing the intensity of pain, and to conduct inter-group comparison Visual Analogue Scale 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 means no pain; 100 means pain as bad as you can image at resting stage

Secondary Outcomes

  • Satisfaction With Pain Control(24 hours after administration of first dose)
  • VAS in Both Resting and Coughing Stage at 0.5h, 2h and 24h After Administration of First Dose(Baseline,0.5h (±5min), 2h (±10min) and 24h (±20min))
  • Comparison of the Total Amount of Study Drugs Used During the 24 Hours(24 hours after administration of first dose)
  • The Use of Rescue Analgesics During the 24-hour Observation Period(24 hours after the first dose.)
  • Sleeping Quality Assessment(24 hours after administration of first dose)
  • VAS in Coughing Stage at 6h (6h±20min After Administration of First Dose)(Baseline and 6h (±20min))
