Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
VAS (Visual Analogue Scale)Change of the week 6 and 12 from baseline

VAS is used to measure changes in joint pain on 6 and 12 weeks after administration in comparison with baseline. It is presented as a 100-mm horizontal line on which the patient's pain intensity is presented by a point between the extremes of "no pain at all" and "worst pain imaginable."

K-WOMAC (Korean-Western Ontario and McMaster Universities)Change of the week 6 and 12 from baseline

K-WOMAC is used to measure changes in joint pain and function on 0, 6, and 12 weeks after administration in comparison with baseline. It measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68).

KSF-36 (Korean-Short Form Health Survey 36)Change of the week 6 and 12 from baseline

KSF-36 is used to measure changes in physical and mental function on 0, 6, and 12 weeks after administration in comparison with baseline. It is a 36-item self-report measure designed to assess health-related functioning. It contains eight subscales with four pertaining to physical functioning and four pertaining to psychological functioning. Scores on each subscale can range from 0 to 100, with a higher score representing better health-related functioning. Two composite scores are calculated by averaging all of the scores for four subscales pertaining to each of the two general aspects of functioning.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate)Change of the week 12 from baseline

ESR to measure changes in blood inflammatory marker on 12 weeks after administration in comparison with baseline

Subject's global impression of change scale6 and 12 weeks

The change in activity limitations, symptoms, emotions and overall quality of life, related to painful condition that is assessed by subject

Level of Quality

* Excellent (category 1): substantial overall improvement of symptoms

* Good (category 2): overall improvement of symptoms

* Neutral (category 3): no change compared with before

* Worse (category 4): overall deterioration of symptoms

* Very much worse (category 5): substantial overall deterioration of symptoms

Investigator's global impression of change scale6 and 12 weeks

The change in activity limitations, symptoms, emotions and overall quality of life, related to painful condition that is assessed by investigator

Level of Quality

* Excellent (category 1): substantial overall improvement of symptoms

* Good (category 2): overall improvement of symptoms

* Neutral (category 3): no change compared with before

* Worse (category 4): overall deterioration of symptoms

* Very much worse (category 5): substantial overall deterioration of symptoms

CRP (C-reactive protein)Change of the week 12 from baseline

CRP to measure changes in blood inflammatory marker on 12 weeks after administration in comparison with baseline
