结局指标
主要结局
Mean Change in 3-recording Average of the Subjects Daily Pain Rating on the 0-10 Numeric Pain Intensity Scale.
时间窗: 2 weeks (baseline to end of treatment)
Minimum scale value is '0' which represents 'no pain at all' and is the best outcome. Maximum scale value is '10 which represents the 'worst pain imaginable' and is the worse outcome.
