Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Total Sleep Time Measured by Actigraphy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects. In calculating the total sleep time, subjects who took rescue medication were treated as "awake" from the time the rescue medication was given until the end of the sleep period. In addition, if subjects rescued before sleep onset, their total sleep time was set to zero.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) Measured by Actigraphy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects. WASO was defined as minutes of awake during the period of sleep onset and offset, where sleep onset is the first 20-minute block with 19 minutes of sleep.
2. Sleep Latency Measured by Actigraphy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects. Sleep latency was defined as minutes to sleep onset since dosing, where sleep onset was the first 20-minute block with 19 minutes of sleep. For subjects who had not achieved sleep onset (e.g., due to taking rescue medication before achieving sleep onset), sleep latency was considered as censored at the time of wakening.
3. Global Assessment of Study Medication as a Sleep-aid [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 0 being poor to 4 being excellent: How would you rate the study medication you received as a sleep aid?
4. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Sleep Quality [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being very poor and 5 being very good: How was your sleep?
5. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Calmness of Sleep [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being very restless and 5 being very calm: How calm was your sleep?
6. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Easiness to Fall Asleep [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being very difficult to 5 being very easy: How easy was it to fall asleep?
7. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Premature Awakening [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being woke up much too early to 3 being no: Premature awakening?
8. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Ease of Awakening [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being very difficult to 5 being very easy: Ease of awakening?
9. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Well Rested [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
   Subject rating of following question with 1 being not rested at all to 3 being completely rested: Well-rested?
10. Karolinska Sleep Diary - Sufficient Sleep [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subject rating of following question with 1 being no, definitely too little to 5 being yes, definitely enough: Did you get enough (sufficient) sleep?
11. Total Sleep Time by Subject Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subject responded to: Please estimate the number of hours and minutes you think that you slept.
12. Sleep Quality Index [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Sleep Quality Index is the mean score of items, 'sleep quality', 'calm sleep', 'ease falling asleep', and 'slept throughout' on the Karolinska Sleep Diary, ranges from 1 (worst possible) to 5 (best possible).
13. Overall Rating of Severity in Categorical Pain Rating Scale Score [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subject responded to question, 'My pain at this time is' by selecting one of the following choices: no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), or severe pain (3).
14. Change From Baseline in Categorical Pain Rating Scale Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 10 hours ]
    Subjects responded to question, 'My pain at this time is' with following choices: no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), or severe pain (3). Subjects completed this question at baseline (post-dental surgery) and after sleep period. The following measure is the change in pain rating from baseline.
15. Overall Rating of Severity in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score [ Time Frame: At 10 hours ]
    Subjects marked a line on a 100-mm scale to indicate the severity of pain they are experiencing from 0 being no pain to 100 being worse possible pain.
16. Change From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 10 hours ]
    Subjects completed the VAS scale at baseline (post-dental surgery) and after completion of the sleep period. Subjects marked a line on a 100-mm scale to indicate the severity of pain they are experiencing from 0 being no pain to 100 being worse possible pain.This measure indicates the change in pain severity rating on the VAS scale from baseline.
17. Overall Rating of Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]

19. Cumulative Proportion of Participants Taking Rescue Medication by Hour [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subjects were allowed to "rescue" and take a non-study pain reliever if the pain was not tolerable. This measure represents for the proportion of subjects who rescued in the study.
20. Global Assessment of Study Medication as a Pain Reliever [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subject responded to question, 'How would you rating this study medication you received as a pain-reliever?' with the following choices: Poor (0), Fair(1), Good(2), Very Good(3), Excellent(4)
21. Number of Times Participants Took Rescue Medication [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Subjects were allowed to "rescue" and take a non-study pain reliever if the pain was not tolerable. This measure represents for the number of times rescue medication was taken by a subject.
22. Total Wake Time Measured by Actigraphy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.
23. Sleep Efficiency Measured by Actigraphy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 hours ]
    Sleep efficiency was calculated as (total sleep time/total time in-bed time) × 100; total in-bed time was fixed at 10 hours. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.
