Study to Investigate the Analgesic Efficacy of a Single Dose of AZD1940 - Full Text View

Sponsor:	AstraZeneca
Information provided by:	AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00659490

Purpose

The primary aim of this study is to investigate if AZD1940 can relieve the pain induced by the surgical removal of one lower wisdom-tooth. This will be done by comparing the effect of AZD1940 to placebo ("inactive substance") on pain. A number of patients will instead receive the common painkiller naproxen for comparison purposes. Rescue medication, acetaminophen, will be allowed if a need for additional painkillers would arise. A number of patients will receive Naproxen as control.
