Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient Experience Study of Deoxycholic Acid Injection (NCT NCT02007434)

NCT ID: NCT02007434

Last Updated: 2015-07-28

Results Overview

Participants were provided with a scale 100 mm in length and were asked to mark the place on the line that best represents his or her pain associated with the area treated with study drug. The scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 100 (most severe pain possible).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 84

Population: Safety analysis set with available data at both time points

Participants were provided with a scale 100 mm in length and were asked to mark the place on the line that best represents his or her pain associated with the area treated with study drug. The scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 100 (most severe pain possible).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (predose) and Day 84

Population: Safety analysis set with available data at both time points

Participants rated 15 pain characteristics by using a number to signify how much of that specific type of pain they were experiencing using the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The pain characteristic options included Throbbing, Shooting, Stabbing, Sharp, Cramping, Gnawing, Hot-burning, Aching, Heavy, Tender, Splitting, Tiring-exhausting, Sickening, Fearful, and Punishing- cruel. Participants assessed the intensity of each characteristic using the following score system: none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), and severe (3). In addition, present pain was assessed on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 5 (excruciating).
