E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of the two investigational medicinal products (IMPs) in the changes from baseline of individual subjective symptoms and objective signs of haematomas and subcutaneous haematic extravasations of traumatic origin; To compare the efficacy of the two IMPs in the rates of complete healing at the end of treatment; To compare the efficacy of the two IMPs in the changes from baseline of the size of the lesion; To compare the two treatment groups in terms of use of relief paracetamol; To assess the general and local safety of the two IMPs. |
