Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary efficacy outcome for this study is the evaluation of pain done on twice daily basis by the patient himself using 11-point NRS scale, where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst possible pain experienced. The investigator will perform this test on day 0 i.e. day of randomization, day 5 i.e. day of interim analysis and day 10, which is the end of the study period. 2] Pain intensity difference (PID) This will be used to examine the change in pain intensity from baseline and will be calculated as baseline pain intensity - current pain intensity, with the mean pain intensity from the 3 days of pain intensity measurements before randomization used as the baseline value. Sum of PID over the first 5 days (5-day SPID), the primary efficacy end point, will be calculated as &#931;PID (time elapsed since the previous observation), with the sum including all observations of PID collected from the evening of day 1 to the evening of day 5. Two-day SPID and 10-day SPID will be calculated in a similar manner.   10 day 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Secondary outcomes include the effect of Tapentadol IR on the basis of Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at the baseline, day 5 and day 10, which is the end point of the trial. PGIC will be assessed, wherein patients will indicate their response to the statement "Since I began study medication, my overall status is ..." using a scale from 1 =very much improved to 7 =very much worse.  10 day
