Evaluate Analgesic/Sedative Efficacy of Naproxen Sodium and Diphenhydramine in Patients With Postsurgical Dental Pain

Overview

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of two dose combinations of naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine (DPH) to demonstrate that naproxen sodium/DPH combination provides added clinical benefit to sleep improvement than either single ingredient alone in subjects with post-surgical dental pain and phase advanced sleep.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Wake Time After Sleep Onset (WASO) Measured by Actigraphy
    • Time Frame: Up to 10 hours
    • WASO was defined as Total wake time (in minutes) after sleep onset during the 10 hours in-bed period as measured by actigraphy. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual’s movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.
  • Sleep Latency Measured by Actigraphy
    • Time Frame: Up to 10 hours
    • Sleep latency was defined as the time to sleep onset from the time of dosing as measured by actigraphy. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual’s movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.

Secondary Measures

  • Total Sleep Time Measured by Actigraphy
    • Time Frame: Up to 10 hours
    • Total time time was measured as total time spent sleeping (not to exceed 600 minutes) during the in-bed period as measured by actigraphy.

  • Sleep Efficiency Measured by Actigraphy
    • Time Frame: Up to 10 hours
    • Sleep efficiency was calculated as (total sleep time/total time in-bed time) × 100; total in-bed time was fixed at 10 hours. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual’s movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.
