Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Pain Intensity Score (0-10 NRS) From Visit 1 (Baseline) to 6weeks After Treatment.

    NRS-Pain scale assessed the severity of a subject's pain of mean pain over the past 24 hours prior to the visit on a scale of 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst possible pain). Change = mean score at Week6/ET minus mean score at Baseline.

    baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change in the Pain Intensity Score (0-10 NRS) From Visit 1 (Baseline) to Week 2 of the Investigational Product Administration

    2 weeks

  • Change in the Quality of Life (EQ-5D) Score From Visit 1 (Baseline) to Week 6 Post-dose

    Baseline and at 6 weeks

  • Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality of Life Assessed by EuroQol Visual Analog Scale (EQ-5D VAS)

    Baseline and at 6weeks

  • Clinical Global Impression of Change(CGIC)

    6 weeks

  • Patient Global Impressions of Change(PGIC)

    6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

buprenorphine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patch

Drug: buprenorphine

tramadol/acetaminophen

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Oral tablet

Drug: tramadol/acetaminophen

Interventions

Dosage and administration: This one patch should be attached every 7 days.

Also known as: Norspan patch
buprenorphine

Amount of drug ingredients : Acetaminophen 325 mg and Tramadol hydrochloride 37.5 mg in 1 tablet of this drug. Dosage and administration: Adjust dose depending on a patient's pain severity and treatment response. Starting at the initial dose of 2 tablets, usually administer 4 tablets per dose, twice daily. At a dosing interval of at least 12 hr, the daily dose should not exceed 8 tablets.

Also known as: Ultracet ER semi
tramadol/acetaminophen
