SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Early Termination/Final Visit through 12 months

Population: ITT (Intent to Treat) with non-missing Baseline and Early Termination/Final Visit assessment for computing change from baseline

Change from Baseline in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Pain Severity Measures, Scale: 0 = No Pain, 10 = Pain as bad as you can imagine; a high score indicates a worse outcome. Therefore, a negative change from baseline indicates a better outcome. Outcome is Mean Pain Severity score calculated as the arithmetic mean of the Worst, Least, Average and Now scores. A negative change indicates better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Early Termination/Final Visit through 12 months

Population: ITT (Intent to Treat) with non-missing Baseline and Final Visit assessment for computing change from baseline

Change from Baseline in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). Scale: 7-point Likert scale, from 1 = No Change through 7 = A great deal better; a high score indicates a better outcome. Therefore, a positive change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

Population: ITT (Intent to Treat) with non-missing Baseline and Final Visit assessment for computing change from baseline

Change from Baseline in Visual Analog Scale Pain Intensity (VASPI). Scale: 0 mm = No Pain, 100 mm = Unbearable Pain; high score is worse. Therefore, a negative change from baseline indicates a better outcome.
