Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Functional Outcomes as Measured by Patient's Global Impression of ChangeBaseline, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days

Very much improved, or much improved from baseline

Change From Baseline in Short Form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36)Baseline, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days

SF-36 is a self-administered, generic health status questionnaire consisting of 36 questions that measure 8 health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions. Each health concept has a range of possible total scores from 0 to 100. A high score defines a more favorable health state. The mean overall total score will be reported.

The Proportion of Subjects Who Are Responders (Defined as Having a 30% or Greater Improvement in Mean Worst Daily Leg Pain)Baseline to 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days
Change in Functional Outcomes as Measured by the Oswestry Disability IndexBaseline, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days

0 - 20%: Minimal disability 21% - 40%: Moderate disability 41% - 60%: Severe disability 61% - 80%: Crippling back pain 81% - 100%: Bed-bound or exaggerating their symptoms

The Proportion of Subjects Who Are Responders (Defined as Having a 50% or Greater Improvement in Mean Worst Daily Leg Pain)Baseline to 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days
Time to Loss of Response in the Subset of Patients Who Are Responders at Day 14 (50% or Greater Improvement in Mean Worst Daily Leg Pain)Day 14 through 180 days
Proportion of Subjects Who Required Rescue Medication, as Reported in Patient DiaryBaseline through 180 days
