E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint for this trial is the Sum of Pain Intensity Difference evaluated over 24 hours (SPID24). SPID24 will be calculated as the weighted sum of the scheduled pain intensity difference (difference between baseline at qualifying period and current pain intensity) collected up to 24 hours after the first dose of IMP. The weights will be taken as the time elapsed (in hours) since the previous measurement. |
