Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change in Average Daily Pain Score From Baseline Among Participants Who Received DS5565 for Pain Associated With Diabetic Peripheral NeuropathyBaseline to Week 7 postdose

The mean change in average daily pain score (ADPS) was measured using a 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS; 0 \[no pain\] to 10 \[worst possible pain\]. The rating averaged over a 7-day period and was based on entries in patients' daily pain diaries. Greater mean changes (improvements) in ADPS indicated better outcomes. A minimally meaningful effect was a mean decrease of at least 1.0 point \[scale of 0 to 10\] versus placebo.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change in Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire From Baseline Among Participants Who Received DS5565 for Pain Associated With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathyat Week 7 postdose

The Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is reported. For VAS, participants rated pain intensity on a 100 mm-long horizontal line, where 0 mm = no pain and 100 mm = worst possible pain.

Greater mean changes (improvements) in SF-MPQ indicated better outcomes.
