Title Pain Intensity Assessments Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in Adolescents (Age 12 to Less Than 18 Years).
Hide Description

At predefined times after investigational medicinal product administration, participants were asked to rate their pain on a 100 mm line (visual analog scale - VAS) by marking a point on the line in response to:

"My pain at this time is". The mark was scored between "no pain" and " pain as bad as it could be". The distance was then measured by a clinician and reported.

A value of 0 indicates "no pain". A value of 100 indicates "pain as bad as it could be".

Title Pain Intensity Assessments Using the McGrath Color Analog Scale in Adolescent Participants and Older Children (Age 6 to Less Than 18 Years).
Hide Description Pain intensity assessments were with a 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain) scored McGrath color analog scale (CAS) in participants aged 6 years to less than 18 years, i.e. in Adolescents and Older Children. Participants were presented with the CAS and instructed to place the sliding bar on the color that best represented their pain intensity level at the time of assessment. The CAS is a pocket size tool used to measure the self-reported pain intensity of the older participants. The CAS consists of a 145 mm long triangular shaped strip of plastic, varying in width and hue from 1 mm wide and light pink hue at the bottom (and text no pain), to 3 mm wide and deep red hue at the top (most pain). This instrument includes 2 sides. One side shows the color pain intensity scale as described and the other shows a graduated scale, which provides a specific numeric value for the participant-reported level of pain.

Title Pain Intensity Assessments Using the Faces Pain Scale (Revised) in Children Age 3 to Less Than 12 Years.
Hide Description

This assessment tool was used in 3 to less than 12 year old participants, i.e. Older Children and Young Children.

The Faces Pain Scale (Revised) [FPS-R] score as allocated to a selected face by the participant. There are 6 faces and the participant is asked to indicate on a face to express how much it hurts.

The numeric value 0 (no pain) to 10 (very much pain) is read off the reverse side of the scale by the clinician.

Title Pain Intensity Assessment Using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability Scale in Young and Very Young Children (Age 2 to Less Than 6 Years).
Hide Description The Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability (FLACC) Scale was developed by the Department of Anesthesiology, University of Michigan Medical School and Health Systems. The FLACC Scale is a behavioral scale for scoring postoperative pain in children between the ages of two months and seven years or in persons unable to communicate. In this trial the scale was used in the young and very young children, i.e. in participants aged 2 to less than 6 years. This tool includes five categories of pain behaviors, including facial expression, leg movement, activity, cry, and consolability. The clinician observes the participant for 5 minutes or more and scores each category with a 0, 1 or 2. The scores are added together for a total score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The higher the total score the higher the pain.

Title Sum of Pain Intensity Differences Over the 4 Hours After Dosing Derived From the Different Pain Scales and for All Age Groups
Hide Description

Different pain intensity assessment tools were used in the different age groups. Therefore the sum of pain intensities were calculated and are reported for each age group based on the tool used.

Adolescents - Age 12 to Less Than 18 Years.

Older Children - Age 6 to Less Than 12 Years.

Young Children - Age 3 to Less Than 6 Years.

Very Young Children - Age 2 to Less Than 3 Years.

  • CAS (McGrath color analog scale) [Theoretical Range: -40 to + 40],
  • VAS (100 mm Visual Analog Scale) [Theoretical Range: -400 to + 400],
  • FPS-R (6-point Faces Pain Scale - Revised) [Theoretical Range: -40 to + 40],
  • FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability score) [Theoretical Range: -40 to + 40].

A mean score of zero indicates that there was no pain intensity change over the 4 hours.

The positive values indicate that in the group as a whole the sum of all pain intensity values over the first 4 hours lead to a reduction in pain in the time period.

Hide Arm/Group Description:

The sum of pain intensity difference over 4 hours (SPID4) were calculated as the weighted sum of the scheduled pain intensity difference collected up to 4 hours after tapentadol oral solution administration.

The time elapsed (in hours) since the previous measurement is multiplied with the pain intensity difference (PID) at the respective time, and defines the weight in the calculation of the weighted sum of pain intensity differences.

The clinical "intensity" of an adverse event was classified as:

  • Mild: Signs and symptoms that can be easily tolerated. Symptoms can be ignored and disappear when the subject is distracted.
  • Moderate: Symptoms cause discomfort but are tolerable; they cannot be ignored and affect concentration.
  • Severe: Symptoms which affect usual daily activity.

For adverse events where the intensity changes over time, the maximum intensity observed was documented.

Hide Description This test was used to test for the water balance and urine concentration. A urine sample was tested right away. A dipstick with a color-sensitive pad was used. The color the dipstick changes and the specific gravity of the urine was read off the color chart. In the study there were 2 planned safety urine collections. At Visit 1 in the enrollment period, after consent and assent obtained. The second sample was obtained at Visit 3 prior to discharge from the hospital. The discharge visit was as per standard of care.
