    after seven days of treatment.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Intensity of pain evaluated by the VAS scale

    on day 3 and on day 7

  • Impression of the research subject checked by a 7-point scale

    on day 3 and on day 7

  • Evaluation of drug safety as per the occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events.

    on day 3 and on day 7, for SAE up to 30 days
