Study Description

Brief Summary

To compare the duration of analgesic efficacy as determined by the time to rescue medication of a single oral dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo over 24 hours in subjects experiencing moderate to severe post-impaction surgery dental pain.

To compare the overall analgesic effect (SPID 0-24) of a single dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo.

To compare the overall relief from pain (TOTPAR 0-24) of a single dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Naproxen Sodium (Aleve, BAY117031)

Participants received one single dose of 440 mg naproxen sodium tablets (200 mg x 2 tablets, oral) after randomization

Drug: Naproxen Sodium (Aleve, BAY117031)
220 mg x 2 tablets, oral, single dose

Active Comparator: Ibuprofen (Advil)

Participants received one single dose of 400 mg ibuprofen tablets (200 mg x 2 tablets, oral) after randomization

Drug: Ibuprofen (Advil)

Matching placebo, 2 tablets, oral, single dose

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to First Use of Rescue Medication [Up to 24 hours]

    Time to first use of rescue medication was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. If a subject did not take the rescue medication during the treatment period, (s)he was censored at the time of last assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) [Up to 24 hours]

    Pain intensity was measured using Numerical Rating Scale (from 0 to 10: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain). For each postdose time point, pain intensity differences (PIDs) were derived by subtracting the pain intensity at the postdose time point from the baseline intensity score (baseline score - post-baseline score). A positive difference was indicative of improvement. Time-weighted sum of pain intensity differences (SPIDs) were calculated by multiplying the PID score at each postdose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values.

  2. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) [Up to 24 hours]

    Pain relief was measured using Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief). Total pain relief scores (TOTPARs) were calculated by multiplying the pain relief score at each postdose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values.
