Sum of Pain Relief Rating and Pain Intensity Difference (PRID)
PRID was sum of PID and PRR at each post-dosing time point. The overall possible score range, for PRID was -1 (worst) to 7 (best). PID was derived by subtracting the pain severity score at a given post-dosing time point (pain severity score range 0 \[none\] to 3 \[severe\]) from the baseline score (Baseline pain severity score range 2 \[moderate\] to 3 \[severe\]). Total possible score range for PID: -1 (worst) to 3 (best). PRR was assessed on 5-point categorical pain relief rating scale (0=No relief to 4=Complete relief).

Time to Confirmed First Perceptible Relief
Participants evaluated the time to first perceptible relief by stopping a stopwatch labeled 'first perceptible relief' at the moment they first began to experience any relief. Stopwatch was active up to 6 hours after dosing or until stopped by the participant, or rescue medication was administered. The first perceptible relief was considered confirmed if the participant also stopped the second stopwatch indicating meaningful relief.
