Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Bi-Profenid 100 mg x 2 day versus Bi-Profenid 150 mg x 2 day in patients presenting with pain related to closed, benign, acute post-traumatic conditions of the motor system or acute, non-infectious rheumatologic conditions, by comparing, on the one hand, changes in resting pain intensity over the entire day, measured at the end of the day using a numeric scale (NS), over 5 days and, on the other hand, total intake over 5 days of concomitant analgesics. Secondary Objectives: * To describe concomitant analgesic treatments * To describe the time between baseline and use of a step I, II or III analgesic * To evaluate patients pain relief using a Likert 4-class scale (complete or substantial relief, moderate relief slight relief and absence of relief) at D5 * To evaluate changes in intensity of pain when moving, over the entire day, measured at the end of the day using a numeric scale, over 5 days * To evaluate the patients overall satisfaction at the end of treatment using a 4-point Simple Verbal Scale (SVS) (very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat unsatisfied, very unsatisfied) * To evaluate the patients overall satisfaction at the end of the study using a 4-point Simple Verbal Scale (EVS) (very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat unsatisfied, very unsatisfied) * To compare the safety of the two treatments

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Resting pain intensity measured using the numeric scale (NS) at the end of the day, and total intake of concomitant analgesics over 5 days. For these two parameters, the maximum value will be assigned to patients who used step II or III analgesics | between D1 and D5, at the end of the day |
