Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4 hours post-dose.	Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief).	4 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-8 hours post-dose.	Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-8 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief).	8 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4 hours post-dose.	Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4 hours post-dose. The pain intensity will be assessed using a Categorical 4-point scale (0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain).	4 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 8 hours post-dose.	Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 8 hours post-dose. The pain intensity will be assessed using a Categorical 4-point scale (0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain).	8 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Time to first intake of rescue medication.	Time between the first dose intake and the administration of a rescue medication.	Up to 8 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Patients who used rescue medication.	Number of participants who used rescue medication after the first drug intake.	Up to 8 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Doses of rescue medication used.	Number of rescue medication doses used in the first day of treatment.	Up to 8 hours post-dose.
Secondary	Number of additional drug intake.	Number of additional drug intake during the study period.	3 days.
Secondary	Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC).	Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) will be assessed after 8 hours post-dose or immediately before the intake of rescue medication.	8 hours.
Secondary	Evaluate the safety of CDE100 association in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.	The safety will be evaluated considering the incidence of adverse events (AEs) reported during the study period.	Up to 175 days.
