Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS24) Score at Week 4

    Pain over the last 24 hours was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 millimeter (mm)=no pain to 100 mm=worst possible pain. An increase in score from baseline represented disease progression and decrease represented improvement.

    Baseline and Week 4

  • Change From Baseline in VAS24 Score at Week 52

    Pain over the last 24 hours was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 mm=no pain to 100 mm=worst possible pain. An increase in score from baseline represented disease progression and decrease represented improvement.

    Baseline and Week 52

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Number of Participants With Improvement From Baseline in VAS24 Score

    Week 4 and 52

  • Pain Intensity Difference (PID) at Week 4

  • Pain Relief (PAR) Score at Week 4

    Week 4

  • Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity Difference (PRID) at Week 4

    Week 4
