Changes in the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Pain Score From Baseline to (1) the First Hour and (2) the Second Hour After the First Dose of Zipsor® Administration.

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subject intensity of pain on an 11-point scale. 0 = No Pain, 10 = Worst Pain at baseline to (1) the first hour and (2) the second hour after the first dose of Zipsor® administration.

Time frame: From Baseline to 1st and 2nd hour

Population: Full Analysis Set are enrolled patients who had available valid NPRS scores recorded on Day 1, received at least 1 dose of Zipsor, and completed at least 1 postbaseline NPRS score with a valid score. The Full Analysis Set was the primary population for the efficacy analysis. Safety Analysis Set has n=25.
