Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    The numerical rating scale is the tool to assess pain level using a numerical rating scale. The primary outcome measurement is the average change of NRS score after double blind treatment between the two treatment groups. The NRS evaluates the pain level using number scale from 0 to 10. 0 means not painful and 10 means extremely painful. 1 to 3 is lightly pain, 4-6 is moderate pain and 7 to 10 is severe pain. There is no subscales used for NRS reporting.

    baseline up to 5-8 days (double blind period)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • The Average Dose of Study Medicine Used During Double Blind Treatment Period

    baseline up to 5-8 days (double blind period)

  • Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Change From Baseline to After Double Blind Period

    baseline up to 5-8 days (double blind period)

  • Times of Breakthrough Pain Occurrence

    Within 8 days after baseline

  • Patient Assessments of Satisfaction for Pain Management

    baseline up to 19-22 days (open label treatment)

  • Average Number of Titrations

    baseline up to 1-3 days(double blind period)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes
