Adverse events considered by investigators as probably related to treatment occurred in 40 (17.1%) patients in the tramadol group and 19 (12.2%) patients in the acetaminophen/codeine group (difference not significant). Nausea, constipation, dizziness, and somnolence were the most common adverse effects in both groups. Patients in both groups took an average of four to five capsules daily (mean tramadol dose, 244 mg mean acetaminophen/codeine dose, 1407/140.7 mg). Response to medication was rated moderate or marked by investigators for 53% of patients taking tramadol and 58% of patients taking acetaminophen/codeine. Both treatments were rated as good, very good, or excellent by 55% of patients in each group. On day 1 of week 3, mean total pain relief score was 7.4 for the tramadol group and 6.7 for the acetaminophen/codeine group. The mean total pain relief score (scale: 0 = no relief 16 = complete relief) for each group on day 1 of week 1 was 6.1. Mean pretreatment pain intensities were moderate for both treatment groups. Efficacy was evaluated on the objective measures of pain relief (visual analog pain scale), medication acceptability, and overall therapeutic response safety assessment was based on number and degree of adverse experiences, vital sign measurements, clinical laboratory evaluations, and electrocardiographic findings. After the initial dose, patients were allowed to titrate the dose according to pain severity to a maximum of eight capsules per day.

A total of 390 patients with chronic pain due to a variety of conditions, 84% to 88% of whom reported moderate or severe baseline pain intensity, ingested capsules containing 50-mg tramadol (n = 234) or 300-mg acetaminophen plus 30-mg codeine (n = 156). A 4-week, double-blind study was conducted to compare tramadol hydrochloride, a new centrally acting binary analgesic, with acetaminophen/codeine for the management of chronic pain in patients older than 65 years of age.
