Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) at Hour 48
Hour 48

The SPID is time-weighted sum of all observations of pain intensity difference (PID) collected at each measurement time point from Baseline to 48 hours. PID: Baseline pain intensity (PI) minus current PI; PI was assessed using 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS, 0=no pain to 10=worst pain imaginable). PI score ranges from 0-3 where 0=no pain and 3=severe pain. PI score of 0=NRS score of 0, PI score of 1=NRS score \>=1 and \<=3, PI score of 2=NRS score of \>=4 and \<=6 and PI score of 3=NRS score of \>=7 and \<=10. Total score for SPID at 48 hours (SPID48) ranges from -144 (worst) to 144 (best).

Percentage of Participants With Reduction in Pain Intensity
Baseline up to Day 29

The percentage of participants with extent of reduction in pain intensity greater than or equal to 30 percent was reported. Pain intensity change rate was calculated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score at baseline minus VAS score at Day 29 divided by VAS score at Baseline. VAS is a 10 centimeter (cm) scale. Intensity of pain range: 0 cm=no pain to 10 cm=worst possible pain.

Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity at Day 29
Baseline and Day 29

Change in pain intensity experienced by participants over the last 48 hours was measured on Day 29 against Baseline with VAS. VAS is a 10 cm scale. Intensity of pain range: 0 cm=no pain to 10 cm=worst possible pain.

Number of Participants With Insufficient Pain Relief After the Start of Double-Blind Period
Day 28 of double-blind period

The pain relief was regarded as insufficient, if either of the following was met, a) the value of average pain intensity felt in daily living during the past 24 hours (Visual analog scale 24 \[VAS24\] ) on 2 consecutive days in double-blind period worsened greater than 15 millimeter (mm) compared with the average VAS24 during 3 days before the end of open-label period, b) when the participant asked for discontinuation of treatment with the study drug because of insufficient pain relief.

Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS24) Score at Week 4
Baseline and Week 4

Pain over the last 24 hours was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 millimeter (mm)=no pain to 100 mm=worst possible pain. An increase in score from baseline represented disease progression and decrease represented improvement.

Change From Baseline in VAS24 Score at Week 52
Baseline and Week 52

Pain over the last 24 hours was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 mm=no pain to 100 mm=worst possible pain. An increase in score from baseline represented disease progression and decrease represented improvement.

Total Pain Relief Based on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score
8 hours

Total pain relief was evaluated using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Higher score indicates treatment response.

Change in the average of daily pain score recorded in the IVR system from baseline to the patient's final week of treatment with study medication.
Change From Baseline in QTc Interval
Baseline (pre-dose, Day1); pre-dose up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 4

The QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc interval) using Fridericia, Bazett and study-specific power correction methods, will be measured by electrocardiograms (ECG).

Change from baseline in vital signs and other parameters as a measure of safety and tolerability of tramadol
Baseline, Days 1 through 4

Changes in clinical laboratory results, vital signs, psycopharmacologic status (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), and physical examination.

Plasma concentrations of racemic tramadol (Period 1)
Up to 48 hours following the administration of study drug on Day 1 of Period 1
Plasma concentrations of acetaminophen (Period 1)
Up to 48 hours following the administration of study drug on Day 1 of Period 1
Plasma concentrations of racemic tradamdol (Period 2)
Up to 48 hours following the administration of study drug on Day 1 of Period 2
Plasma concentrations of acetaminophen (Period 2)
Up to 48 hours following the administration of study drug on Day 1 of Period 2
