Summary

The present study is proposed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single doses of Diclofenac HPBCD subcutaneous (s.c.) (25 mg/1 ml and 50 mg/1 ml) in the treatment of acute moderate-to-severe pain after dental impaction surgery.

Eligibility 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.
