SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At discharge

Population: The study was enrolled in 2 parts, NRS-A was not collected in the second part of the study.

Pain intensity scores were assessed at discharge (between 2 and 3 hours after surgery on average) using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10) where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "worst pain imaginable". NRS scores are recorded with activity (NRS-A), sitting up from a resting position.

Interval 5.0 to 22.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 15 plus or minus 2 days

Population: TSQM-9 Scores on Regimen 1 missing for 3 subjects for Effectiveness Domain and Global Satisfaction Domain and 7 subject for Convenience Domain.

The TSQM-9 contains 9 items which make up the Effectiveness, Convenience, and Global Satisfaction domains; each domain includes 3 items. Scores for each domain were computed by adding the TSQM items in each domain and then transforming the composite score into a value ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction.
