Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The Difference in the Mean Average Pain Intensity Score on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) During the Last 3 Days of Each Double-blind Treatment Period. (Difference Between Two DB Randomization Treatment Sequences)
14 days for each cross-over period

For this twice daily pain assessment, the subjects were to indicate the level of average pain experienced over the previous 12 hours on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) where a score of 0 indicated "no pain" and a score of 10 indicated "pain as bad as you can imagine".

Secondary Endpoints

The Number of Patients Requiring Rescue Medication During the DB Tapentadol IR Treatment
14 days for each cross-over period
The Number of Patients Requiring Rescue Medication During the DB Tapentadol ER Treatment
14 days for each cross-over period
Total Daily Dose (TDD) of Tapentadol IR During the Double-blind Treatment Period
