Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Rating With Pain Intensity Difference From 0 to 6 Hours (SPRID 0-6)
0 to 6 hours

SPRID: time-weighted sum of pain relief rating combined with pain intensity difference (PRID) over 6 hours. Score range: -6(worst) to 42(best) for SPRID 0-6. PRID: sum of pain intensity difference (PID) and pain relief rating (PRR) at each time point. Score range for PRID: -1(worst) to 7(best). PID: baseline pain severity score minus pain severity score at a given time point (score range 0=none to 3=severe; baseline score range 2=moderate to 3=severe). Total score range for PID: -1 (worst) to 3 (best). PRR: assessed on 5-point pain relief rating scale (0=No relief to 4=Complete relief).

Time to Onset of Meaningful Relief
0 to 6 hours

Participants evaluated the time to meaningful relief by stopping a second stopwatch labeled 'meaningful relief' at the moment they first began to experience meaningful relief. Stopwatch was active up to 6 hours after dosing or until stopped by the participant, or rescue medication was administered.

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Rating and Pain Intensity Difference From 0-8 Hours (SPRID 0-8)
0 to 8 hours

SPRID: time-weighted sum of pain relief rating combined with pain intensity difference (PRID) over 8 hours. SPRID 0-8 score range: -8 (worst) to 56 (best). PRID: sum of Pain intensity differences (PID) and pain relief rating (PRR) at each time point. PRID score range: -1=worst to 7=best. PID: baseline pain severity score minus pain severity score at a given time point (pain severity score range 0=none to 3=severe; baseline score range 2=moderate to 3=severe). PID score range: -1(worst) to 3 (best). PRR: assessed on 5-point pain relief rating scale (0=No relief to 4=Complete relief).

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Rating and Pain Intensity Difference From 0-3 Hours (SPRID 0-3) for Ibuprofen Sodium Versus Placebo Tablet
0 to 3 hours

SPRID:time-weighted sum of pain relief rating combined with pain intensity difference (PRID) over 3 hours. SPRID score range:-3 (worst) to 21 (best) for SPRID 0-3. PRID: sum of pain intensity differences (PID) and pain relief rating(PRR) at each time point. PRID score range: -1=worst to 7=best. PID: baseline pain severity score minus pain severity score at a given time point (score range 0=none to 3=severe; baseline score range 2=moderately severe to 3=severe). Total score range for PID: -1(worst) to 3 (best). PRR:assessed on 5-point pain relief rating scale (0=No relief to 4=Complete relief).

Time to Onset of Meaningful Relief for Ibuprofen Sodium Versus Ibuprofen (Motrin IB) Tablet
0 to 3 hours

Participants evaluated the time to meaningful relief by stopping a second stopwatch labeled 'meaningful relief' at the moment the participant first began to experience meaningful relief. It was also considered achieved if the participant stated "meaningful relief" at the time the first stopwatch was depressed. Stopwatch was active up to 3 hours after dosing or until stopped by the participant, or rescue medication was administered.
