Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Baseline Mean Pain ScoreBaseline

The daily pain rating scale (DPRS) consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10.

Change From Baseline in Mean Pain Score at EndpointBaseline and end of fixed dose phase (Day 63/Week 9)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)

The daily pain rating scale (DPRS) consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The mean endpoint pain score was obtained from the last 7 available DPRS scores of the daily pain diary while the participant was on study medication, up to and including the day after the last Week 8 (Day 57) dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of 30 Percent (%) Responders at EndpointEnd of fixed dose phase (Day 63/Week 9)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)

The DPRS consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10.

The MOS-Sleep Scale was a participant-rated questionnaire consisting of 12 items that assessed key constructs of sleep. Instrument scoring yielded 7 subscales (sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken short of breath or with a headache, quantity of sleep, optimal sleep, sleep adequacy, and somnolence) as well as a 9-item overall sleep problems index. The total score ranged from 0 to 100. The sleep problems index subscale score also ranged from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating fewer sleep problems.

Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Pain Score at Weeks 1 to 9Baseline and weekly from Weeks 1 to 9

The DPRS consists of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. The weekly mean pain score was the sum of the daily scores divided by the number of diary entries during that week. The overall change is the average change from Weeks 1 to 9.

Baseline Mean Sleep Interference ScoreBaseline

Pain-related sleep interference was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (did not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interfered \[unable to sleep due to pain\]).

SF-MPQ was assessed according to the participant's answer to the SF-MPQ questionnaire. The score for each composite scale (sensory, affective, and total) was derived by summing the reported intensity value for each item within a particular scale where None=0, Mild=1, Moderate=2, and Severe=3. The sensory score was the sum of the scores of the first 11 pain descriptors (throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, cramping, gnawing, hot-burning, aching, heavy, tender, and splitting) and could range from 0-33. The affective score was the sum of the scores of the last 4 pain descriptors (tiring-exhausting, sickening, fearful, and punishing-cruel) and could range from 0-12. The total score was the sum of the scores of all 15 pain descriptors and could range from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicated greater pain.

Change From Baseline in Pain VAS From the SF-MPQ at EndpointBaseline and Day 63 (Week 9)/Early Termination (Study Endpoint)

The VAS was part of the SF-MPQ scale and reflected the overall pain intensity score. The pain VAS was a horizontal line; 100 mm in length, was self-administered by the participant in order to rate pain from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain).

The MOS-Sleep Scale was a participant-rated instrument which assesses sleep quantity and quality with 12 items (7 subscale scores: sleep disturbance, snoring, awakening short of breath/with headache, sleep adequacy, somnolence, sleep quantity, optimal sleep; and a 9-item overall sleep problems index). Subscale scores total range: 0-100 (except sleep quantity \[range 0-24 hours\], optimal sleep \[yes:1, no:0\]). Higher scores=poorer sleep outcomes (except sleep quantity, adequacy, and optimal sleep).
