Trial Outcomes

Mean Participant Global Evaluation of Pain at 24 Hours After the Initial Dose (GLOBAL24)

The GLOBAL24 was recorded by the participant at 24 hours (or at the time of rescue medication use) after taking the first dose of study medication. The GLOBAL24 uses a pain relief scale of 0 to 4, where 0 = poor pain relief, 1 = fair pain relief, 2 = good pain relief, 3 = very good pain relief, and 4 = excellent pain relief. (NCT01462370)

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Scores Over the 6-Hour Time Period (SPID6)

The Pain Intensity Difference (PID) score is the difference between the baseline pain intensity (PI) score and the PI score recorded at each time point post initial dose, as calculated by subtracting the pain intensity at each of the subsequent time points from the baseline pain intensity score; therefore, it is on a -1 to 3 scale, with a large value representing a greater treatment effect. SPID6 is derived by multiplying the PID score at each time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point, and summing these weighted values up to 6 hours and it is on a scale of -6 to 18. (NCT01462370)

Total Pain Relief Score Over the First 6 Hours (TOPAR6) After the Initial Dose

TOPAR6 was calculated by multiplying the pain relief (PR) score (0- to 4-point scale, with 0=None, and 4=Complete for pain relief) at each time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point, and summing these weighted values up to 6 hours post the initial Day 1 dose. The range of TOPAR6 score is 0 to 24, with increasing scores indicating greater pain relief. (NCT01462370)

Change in Menstrual Pain

Score on a scale. Specifically, we used a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)- 0 through 10 scale with 0 being no pain and 10 worst pain imaginable. Results for the worst menstrual pain score on an NRS from the 6-8 mth menstrual pain diary will be compared to baseline pretreatment diary worst pain score. (NCT03697720)
Timeframe: 6-8 months

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Primary Dysmenorrhea4.1

Change in Participant Bladder Pain Sensitivity From Baseline

Score on a scale. Specifically, we used a Visual Analog Scale- 0 through 100 scale with 0 being no pain and 100 worst pain imaginable. Results from the visual analog scale (VAS) of the bladder filling test at the baseline and 6-8 mph followup visit will be compared to determine if naproxen treatment of menstrual pain affected bladder pain. Bladder pain ratings at first urge will be used at the outcome measure. (NCT03697720)
Timeframe: 6-8 months
