- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Anxiety Subscale Score at Endpoint Baseline, Week 15 A 14-item questionnaire with 2 subscales: anxiety and depression. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale, giving maximum scores of 21 for anxiety and depression. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale are considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7, 'normal.'
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) Rating Scale Total Score at Endpoint Baseline, Week 15 The HAMA scale measures anxiety symptoms accompanying Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Each item of the 14-item HAMA was scored from 0 (not present) to 4 (very severe), with a resulting maximum total score of 56.
Mean Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) Improvement Score at Endpoint Week 15 Measures clinician's perception of patient improvement at the time of assessment compared with the start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).
Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Short Form Severity (BPI-S) and Interference (BPI-I) Scores at Endpoint Baseline, Week 15 BPI-S and BPI-I are self-reported scales measuring severity of pain and interference on function. Severity scores: 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain) on each question assessing worst pain, least pain, and average pain in past 24 hours, and pain right now. Interference scores: 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) on each question assessing interference of pain in past 24 hours for general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life.
Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) at Endpoint, Global Functioning Scores Baseline, Week 15 The SDS is completed by the patient and is used to assess the effect of the patient's symptoms on their work/social/family life. Total scores range from 0 to 30 with higher values indicating greater disruption in the patient's work/social/family life. Individual item scores range from 0-10, with higher numbers indicating greater disruption. Item 1 is for work/schoolwork, Item 2 is for social life/leisure activities, Item 3 is for family life/home responsibilities.
Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain at Endpoint Baseline, Week 15 VAS for pain consists of 6 questions that assess overall pain, headache, back pain, shoulder pain, pain interference with daily activities, and pain while awake. Participant rates pain on a 100 millimeter (mm) line between two anchors (0= no pain and 100=very severe pain).
Change From Baseline in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Depression Subscale Score at Endpoint Baseline, Week 15 A 14-item questionnaire with 2 subscales: anxiety and depression. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale, giving maximum scores of 21 for anxiety and depression. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale are considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7, 'normal.'
