What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference from 0-6 hours (SPID 0-6)

    Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference scores from baseline over 6 hours. Pain intensity was evaluated using a 0-10 pain intensity numerical rating scale (PI-NRS) where 0 = no pain and 10 = very severe pain

    Measured: 6 Hours

Secondary outcomes (31)
  1. Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference from 0-4 hours (SPID 0-4)

    Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference scores from baseline over 4 hours. Pain intensity was evaluated using a 0-10 pain intensity numerical rating scale (PI-NRS) where 0 = no pain and 10 = very severe pain

    Measured: 4 Hours

  2. Time to meaningful pain relief

    Minutes until meaningful pain relief are achieved. Stopwatch is started after the subject takes the study medication. The subjects are instructed to stop the stopwatch when the relief from the starting pain is meaningful to them.

    Measured: Within 6 Hours

  3. Time to first perceptible pain relief

    Minutes until first perceptible pain relief is achieved. Stopwatch is started after the subject takes the study medication. The subject is instructed to stop the stopwatch when they first begin to feel any pain relief.

    Measured: Within 6 Hours

  4. Time to confirmed first perceptible relief

    Minutes until confirmed first perceptible pain relief are achieved. Stopwatch is started after the subject takes the study medication. The subject is instructed to stop the stopwatch when they first begin to feel any pain relief. The first perceptible pain relief is confirmed if the subject also stopped the second stopwatch indicating meaningful pain relief.

    Measured: Within 6 Hours

  5. Time weighted sum of pain relief from 0-4 (TOTPAR 0-4)

    Time weighted sum of pain relief scores over four hours. Pain relief was evaluated using a 0-10 pain relief numerical rating scale (PR-NRS) where 0 = no relief and 10 = complete relief

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Acetaminophen (ACE) (1000 mg), Commercial ACE (1000 mg) and Commercial Ibuprofen (IBU) (400 mg) in people with Dental Pain, run by Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference from 0-6 hours (SPID 0-6) (time frame: 6 Hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2021.
