Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Onset of Warming Sensation
10 minutes post-dose

Onset and duration of action of warming sensation was measured by two stop watches started when the participants took the oral solution. First watch was stopped at the start of warming sensation and the second watch was stopped at the end. If onset had not occurred by 10 minutes then time to onset was censored at 10 minutes. 53 of the 57 participants had onset within 10 minutes after dosing.

Duration of Warming Sensation
10 minutes post-dose

Duration of action of warming sensation was measured by two stop watches started when the participants took the oral solution. First watch was stopped at the start of warming sensation and the second watch was stopped at the end. If onset of warming sensation occurred within 10 minutes of dosing but had not ended by the end of 10 minutes following dosing, then the duration was censored at 10 minutes minus the time to onset

Warming Sensation Intensity at Pre-Dose and 60 Sec (Seconds) Post-Dose
Pre-dose and 60 sec post-dose

Warming Sensation Intensity was measured on 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS), marked as "no warming sensation" on the left hand side (= 0 mm) and "strongest possible warming sensation" at the right hand side (=100 mm) at pre-dose.
