  • Surgery performed under general anaesthesia, or sedation.
  • Complications occurring during the surgical procedure or in the period before randomisation as judged by the investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain Intensity Difference (PID) on a 0-100 VASat 1.5 hours after treatment administration

Pain intensity difference (PID) was derived by subtracting each pain intensity score (PI) from the baseline PI score (t0), where PI was assigned by the patient on a 0-100 mm VAS (from 0 = no pain to 100 = worst pain imaginable).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PIDat 8 hours post-dose.

Pain intensity difference (PID) was derived by subtracting each pain intensity score (PI) from the baseline PI score (t0), where PI was assigned by the patient on a 0-100 mm VAS (from 0 = no pain to 100 = worst pain imaginable).
