SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month

Population: 1 participant in placebo did not have this information completed

Total (intensity (0(none) - 3(severe) + duration (0(none) - 3(longer than 30 mins)) at end of 1 month treatment; higher represents worse outcome; the total score ranges from 0 to 6 and is the sum of the intensity and duration

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 1 month

Population: 1 participant in placebo did not have this information completed

Intensity (0(none) - 3(severe)) at baseline vs 1 month for chest pain episodes; higher represents worse outcome; multiple chest pain totals are averaged
