Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Baseline Mean Pain Score [Baseline]

    The daily pain rating scale (DPRS) consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10.

  2. Change From Baseline in Mean Pain Score at Endpoint [Baseline until end of fixed dose phase (Day 57/Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)]

    The daily pain rating scale (DPRS) consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The mean endpoint pain score was obtained from the last 7 available DPRS scores of the daily pain diary while the participant was on study medication, up to and including the day after the last Week 8 (Day 57) dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Pain Score at Weeks 1 to 8 [Baseline and weekly from Weeks 1 to 8]

    The DPRS consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The weekly mean pain score was the sum of the daily scores divided by the number of diary entries during that week.

  2. Baseline Mean Sleep Interference Score [Baseline]

    Pain-related sleep interference was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (did not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interfered [unable to sleep due to pain]). Participants were to describe how their pain had interfered with their sleep during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10.

  3. Change From Baseline in Mean Sleep Interference Score at Endpoint [Baseline until end of fixed dose phase (Day 57/Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)]

    Pain-related sleep interference was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (did not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interfered [unable to sleep due to pain]). Participants were to describe how their pain had interfered with their sleep during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The mean endpoint score was obtained from the last 7 available scores of the daily diary while the participant was on study medication, up to and including the day after the last Week 8 (Day 57) dose.

  4. Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Sleep Interference Scores at Weeks 1 to 8 [Baseline and weekly from Weeks 1 to 8]

    Pain-related sleep interference was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (did not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interfered [unable to sleep due to pain]). Participants were to describe how their pain had interfered with their sleep during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The weekly mean score was the sum of the daily scores divided by the number of diary entries during that week.

  5. Percentage of 30 Percent (%) Responders at Endpoint [End of fixed dose phase (Day 57/Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)]

    The DPRS consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. A 30% responder was a participant who had 30% reduction or more in mean pain score at the end of the fixed dose phase (Day 57/Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint) compared to baseline.

  6. Change From Baseline in Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Score at Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 8 [Baseline; Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 8]

    SF-MPQ was assessed according to the participant's answer to the SF-MPQ questionnaire. The score for each composite scale (sensory, affective, and total) was derived by summing the reported intensity value for each item within a particular scale where None=0, Mild=1, Moderate=2, and Severe=3. The sensory score was the sum of the scores of the first 11 pain descriptors (throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, cramping, gnawing, hot-burning, aching, heavy, tender, and splitting) and could range from 0-33. The affective score was the sum of the scores of the last 4 pain descriptors (tiring-exhausting, sickening, fearful, and punishing-cruel) and could range from 0-12. The total score was the sum of the scores of all 15 pain descriptors and could range from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicated greater pain.

  7. Baseline Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) Scale [Baseline]

    The VAS was part of the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) scale and reflected the overall pain intensity score, The pain VAS was a horizontal line; 100 millimeters (mm) in length, was self-administered by the participant in order to rate pain from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain). The PPI was part of the SF-MPQ scale and measured the participant's present pain intensity on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 5 (excruciating).

  8. Change From Baseline in Pain VAS From the SF-MPQ at Endpoint [Baseline to Day 57 (Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)]

    The VAS was part of the SF-MPQ scale and reflected the overall pain intensity score. The pain VAS was a horizontal line; 100 mm in length, was self-administered by the participant in order to rate pain from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain).

  9. Change From Baseline in PPI Scale From the SF-MPQ at Endpoint [Baseline to Day 57 (Week 8)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)]

    The PPI was part of the SF-MPQ scale and measured the participant's present pain intensity on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 5 (excruciating).

Title Change From Baseline in Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Score at Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 8
Description SF-MPQ was assessed according to the participant's answer to the SF-MPQ questionnaire. The score for each composite scale (sensory, affective, and total) was derived by summing the reported intensity value for each item within a particular scale where None=0, Mild=1, Moderate=2, and Severe=3. The sensory score was the sum of the scores of the first 11 pain descriptors (throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, cramping, gnawing, hot-burning, aching, heavy, tender, and splitting) and could range from 0-33. The affective score was the sum of the scores of the last 4 pain descriptors (tiring-exhausting, sickening, fearful, and punishing-cruel) and could range from 0-12. The total score was the sum of the scores of all 15 pain descriptors and could range from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicated greater pain.

Title Baseline Medical Outcomes Study (MOS)-Sleep Scale Scores
Description The MOS-Sleep Scale was a participant-rated questionnaire consisting of 12 items that assessed key constructs of sleep. Instrument scoring yielded 7 subscales (sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken short of breath or with a headache, quantity of sleep, optimal sleep, sleep adequacy, and somnolence) as well as a 9-item overall sleep problems index. The total score ranged from 0 to 100. With the exception of sleep adequacy, optimal sleep, and quantity, higher scores reflected greater impairment in the MOS-Sleep subscales. The MOS-Sleep Scale was used to evaluate sleep during the previous week.
