Sum of Sore Throat Pain Intensity Difference (SPID2) on Swallowing at 2 Hours Post-First Dose Primary · 2 hours Post-First Dose

Based on the Pain Intensity scores measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (PI-VAS: 0mm=no pain,100mm=worst possible pain), assessed by the subjects, the SPID2 is the area under the curve (AUC) over the 2-hour period post-first dose of the Pain Intensity Difference (PID) scores using the trapezoidal rule.

Sore Throat Pain Intensity Difference (PID) Within 6 Hours Post-First Dose Secondary · Within First 6 hours Post-First Dose

Pain intensity (PI) on Swallowing as Measured by PI-VAS scale: 0mm=no pain, 100mm=worst possible pain. Sore throat PID score was obtained by subtracting the PI at each time point from the Baseline PI score. Increase in scores indicated a lessening of subjects' pain compared to baseline scores; higher scores indicated a greater reduction in pain.

Sore Throat Pain Intensity Difference (PID) From 7 to 24 Hours Post-First Dose Secondary · 7 to 24 hours

Pain intensity (PI) on Swallowing as Measured by PI-VAS scale: 0mm=no pain, 100mm=worst possible pain. PID score was obtained by subtracting the PI at each time point from the Baseline PI score. An increase in scores indicated a lessening of subjects' pain as compared to Baseline scores, thus, higher scores indicated a greater reduction in pain.

The sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) was calculated as the AUC of the Pain Intensity Difference (PID) scores. The PID \[based on PI-VAS scale: 0mm=no pain, 100mm=worst possible pain\] was calculated as the difference between the pain intensity at the time and at baseline.
