Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 48 in Daily Average NRS Pain Intensity Score48 weeks

The NRS Pain intensity score is a segmented version of a visual analog scale used to measure pain. The scale is from 0 (no pain) to 10. Scores between greater than 0 and 3 are considered mild pain, scores from greater than 3 to 6 are moderate and greater than 6 to 10 are severe. The daily average is calculated and the change from baseline at week 48 is presented.
