Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pain Intensity Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, 60 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change in 11 point pain intensity score between baseline and one hour. At both baseline and one hour, all patients were asked to describe their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 signifying no pain and 10 signifying the worst pain imaginable. Therefore, the CHANGE in pain score could range from -10 through 10.
