PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 14

Population: ITT population (ie, full analysis set)=all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose \& had at least 1 post-randomization efficacy assessment. The endpoint-LOCF mean value was computed from last 7 diary entries (Day 2 up to and including the day after the last dose w/n Dose-Adjustment or Maintenance phase (up to Day 99).

Change from baseline in mean NRS-Pain scores at endpoint-LOCF. Daily pain scores were assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale \<(NRS)-Pain\> ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 1,2,6,10,14, Endpoint - LOCF

Population: ITT population; n = number of participants with data for analysis (n=pregabalin, placebo).

Change in mean BPI-sf, is a self-administered questionnaire to assess pain severity 0 (no pain to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine) and pain interference 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) during a 24 hour period. The BPI-sf was used to derive the change from baseline in 4 pain severity questions \& 7 pain interference questions.

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 1,2,6,10,14 and Endpoint

Population: ITT population; n = number of participants with data for analysis (n=pregabalin, placebo).

Change in mean BPI-sf, is a self-administered questionnaire to assess pain severity 0 (no pain to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine) and pain interference 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) during a 24 hour period. The BPI-sf was used to derive the change from baseline in 4 pain severity questions \& 7 pain interference questions.

Population: ITT population; n = number of participants with data for analysis reported per week per treatment group (n=pregabalin, placebo).

Change from baseline in mean NRS-Pain scores at endpoint-BOCF. Daily pain scores were assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale \<(NRS)-Pain\> ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Change from baseline in mean weekly pain scores was analyzed using longitudinal models assuming data were missing at random (MAR)
