Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 6
Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11--point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Week 6 score was calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days. The change from baseline was calculated using difference between Week 6 mean score and Baseline mean score.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16
Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11--point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Post Baseline weekly scores were calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days prior to corresponding week visits. The change from baseline was calculated using difference between post baseline weekly mean score and the Baseline mean score.
Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score Over Weeks 1 to 4, 1 to 8, 1 to 12, 1 to 16, 5 to 8, 5 to 12 and 5 to 16
Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Scores for each time interval over the weeks were calculated from the mean of daily pain score of participants over that specified duration. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of each specified week interval (Week 1 to 4, 1 to 8, 1 to 12, 5 to 8, 5 to 12 and 5 to 16) values minus the baseline value.
Change From Baseline in Modified Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (mBPI-sf) Scale Score for Worst Pain, Average Pain and Pain Severity at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 ,12 and 16
mBPI-sf is a self-administered questionnaire (5 questions) to assess pain severity and impact of pain on daily functions.
