Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the 7-Day Average Daily Pain Score Using an 11-Point ScaleBaseline, Week 8

Participants recorded the pain in their knee during the previous 24 hours in a daily diary where: 0=no pain to 10= worst pain possible. The daily pain scores over 7-days were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC™) Pain Score Using an 11-Point ScaleBaseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

The WOMAC Pain Score consisted of 5 questions about pain completed by the participant where: 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain for a total possible Pain Score of 0 (best) to 50 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in the WOMAC™ Physical Function Score Using an 11-Point ScaleBaseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

The WOMAC Physical Function Score consisted of 17 questions about the difficulty of daily activities completed by the participant where: 0=no difficulty to 10=extreme difficulty for a total possible Physical Function Score of 0 (best) to 170 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Patient Global Impression of Change (GIC) Using a 7-Point ScaleWeeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

The participant rated the change in their health status since enrollment using a 7-point scale where: +3=very much improved, +2=much improved, +1=minimally improved, 0=no change, -1=minimally worse, -2=much worse and -3=very much worse. Negative scores indicate worsening and positive scores indicate improvement.

Change From Baseline in the 7-Day Average Daily Worst Pain Score Using an 11-Point ScaleBaseline, Week 24

Participants recorded the pain in their knee during the previous 24 hours in a daily diary where: 0=no pain to 10= worst pain possible. The daily worst pain scores over 7-days were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
