Summary
The present study is aimed at demonstrating the therapeutic equivalence of diclofenac HPBCD

of acute moderate-to-severe pain after dental impaction surgery.
Clinical Details
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of a Single s.c. Diclofenac HPBCD 75mg/1ml Injection as Compared to a Single i.m. Voltarol® 75mg/3ml, in the Treatment of Acute Moderate-to-severe Post-surgical Pain Following Dental Surgery (Impacted 3rd Molar Removal).
Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Primary outcome: Pain intensity difference (PID)on a 0-100 VAS
Secondary outcome: PIDs
Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: 65 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients undergoing surgical extraction of a single fully or partially impacted
mandibular 3rd molar requiring bone removal.
- Patients experiencing moderate to severe post-operative pain within 6 hours from end
of surgery.
- Pre-operative laboratory tests in the reference ranges or without clinically
significant abnormalities as judged by the Investigator.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Surgery performed under general anaesthesia, or sedation.
- Complications occurring during the surgical procedure or in the period before
randomisation as judged by the investigator.
- Acute local or systemic infection at the time of surgery that could confound the
post-surgical evaluation.
- Patients with clinical signs of gastritis, gastro-duodenal ulcer, GI bleeding. Other
GI disturbances or disease that in the opinion of the investigator could be
negatively affected by the administration of NSAIDs.
- Clinical signs or history of coagulation disorders that could be negatively affected
by NSAIDs administration.
- Hepatic or renal impairment.
- Patients with significant cardiac impairment, history of cerebrovascular disease,
history or peripheral arterial disease, uncontrolled hypertension.
- Hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs or to one of the study medication
components.
- Patients under chronic treatment with topical or systemic analgesics/NSAIDs.
- Patients under treatment with any medication that may affect the treatment efficacy
evaluation.
- Patients under treatment with any medication whose concomitant use may be susceptible
to interactions with diclofenac or may affect safety.
