Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Daily Pain Intensity on a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) [Baseline, Week 12]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of the Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS) [Baseline, Week 12]

  2. Proportions of Participants With Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 30 Percent (%), ≥50%, and ≥70% Reductions from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Daily Pain Intensity on the NPRS [Baseline, Week 12]

  3. Proportion of Participants Categorized as "Much Improved" or "Very Much Improved" on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Assessment [At Week 12]

  4. Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Day 1 up to Week 14]
