Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time to First Perceptible Relief (Confirmed by Meaningful Relief)

Time Frame: Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 4 hours

"First perceptible relief" defined as the elapsed time from wrap application or oral treatment until the participant depressed the first stopwatch labeled "first perceptible relief" (any pain relieving effect), provided the participant also depressed the second stopwatch labeled "meaningful relief" (meaningful to participant) by the end of the scheduled in-patient evaluation (4 hours / 240 minutes). If the confirmation was not achieved, the participant was censored at the time when the first stopwatch was depressed. Confidence interval (CI) calculated using the method of Simon \& Lee.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change From Baseline in the Angle Measurement at Maximum Flexion for Flexibility Measures: Extension(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Time to Meaningful Relief(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 4 hours)
  • Time Weighted Sum of Pain Relief From 0 Through 8 Hours (TOTPAR 0-8)(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 8 hours)
  • Time Weighted Sum of Change From Baseline in the Back Stiffness Score Over 8 Hours(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 8 hours)
  • Time to Treatment Failure(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 8 hours)
  • Individual Time-Point Pain Relief Scores(At 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, and 480 minutes)
  • Change From Baseline in Individual Time-point Back Stiffness Scores(At 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, and 480 minutes)
  • Change From Baseline (Bsl) in Combined Flexibility Score: Extension(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline (Bsl) in Overall Combined Flexibility Score: Side-to-Side(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline (Bsl) in Overall Combined Flexibility Score: Rotation(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline in the Angle Measurement at Maximum Flexion for Flexibility Measures: Side-to-Side(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline in the Angle Measurement at Maximum Flexion for Flexibility Measures: Rotation(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline (Bsl) in Pain Measurement for Flexibility Measure: Extension(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline in Pain Measurement for Flexibility Measure: Side-to-Side(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Change From Baseline in Pain Measurement for Flexibility Measure: Rotation(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) and 4 hours)
  • Number of Participants Per Categorical Score for Global Assessment of Study Treatment(Baseline (time of wrap application or oral treatment administration) up to 8 hours)
