Timeframe: Up to Week 16

PROMIS pain interference is a questionnaire that measures interference of pain on subject's life. The possible raw score range is 6-30. The raw score has been converted into a T score. The T score range is from 41.6 to 75.6. A t-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A t-score of 50 is equal to the mean of a reference population. Values below 50 indicate pain interference better than the reference population and values above 50 indicate pain interference worse than the reference population.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Up to Week 16

This refers to the acceptability a subject has to pain self management. This would be determined by the number of subjects who answer "yes" to the question "Have you ever wondered if there is something that you could do on your own to better manage your pain?" divided by the number of patients who answered "yes" to the question "Over the last 6 months, do you have daily or almost daily pain that interfered with your general activity or enjoyment of life?"
