简要总结
The study will test the hypothesis that, in patients with knee pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but still have significant knee pain, duloxetine 60 to 120 milligrams (mg) daily for 10 weeks will provide additional reduction in pain.
详细描述
Duloxetine has been studied in pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) in 2 previous placebo controlled clinical trials. In clinical practice, when nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are ineffective in reducing pain due to OA, clinicians often add a second agent without discontinuing NSAIDs. In this study, we will investigate whether adding duloxetine to NSAIDs provides additional pain relief and functional improvement in patients with knee pain due to OA.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in the Weekly Mean of the 24-Hour Average Pain Score at 8 Weeks
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks (blinded endpoint)
The weekly mean 24-hour average pain score was calculated from the participant's daily 24-hour average pain ratings using an 11-point numeric rating scale, with scores from 0 (indicating "no pain") to 10 (indicating "the worst possible pain"). The Least Squares Mean estimates were adjusted for baseline, treatment, investigator (pooled), week, treatment\*week, and baseline\*week.

- Change From Baseline in the Weekly Mean of the 24-Hour Night Pain and Worst Pain Scores at 8 Weeks(Baseline, 8 weeks (blinded endpoint))
- Change From Baseline in the Brief Pain Inventory Severity and Interference Scores (BPI-S/BPI-I) Scores at 8 Weeks(Baseline, 8 weeks (blinded endpoint))
