Evaluate Analgesic/Sedative Efficacy of Naproxen Sodium and Diphenhydramine in Patients With Postsurgical Dental Pain

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of two dose combinations of naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine (DPH) to demonstrate that naproxen sodium/DPH combination provides added clinical benefit to sleep improvement than either single ingredient alone in subjects with post-surgical dental pain and phase advanced sleep.
