Study Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label study in patients 40 years and older who are undergoing a surgical procedure. Patients may receive one dose of ST 30 mcg as needed for pain management, but no more frequently than every 60 minutes, for up to 12 hours.

Primary Outcome

The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity \[PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)\]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and throughout the 12 hour period. The time-weighted SPID12 is the time-weighted summed PID over t
