结局指标
主要结局
Pain measurement by numeric rating score
时间窗: 2 months after injection in comparison to baseline
The primary outcome of this study is pain measured with the numeric rating score (NRS): 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (the worst imaginable pain). A score of zero (0) will indicate that the patient is pain free, while a score of ten (10) will indicate that they are experiencing the worst pain imaginable.
次要结局
- Patient satisfaction(2 months after injection)
- Walking ability(2 months after injection)
- Use of analgesics(2 months after injection)
- Sleep(2 months after injection)
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)(2 months after injection)
