Score ranges: 0-5. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit \<= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.

Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Total Score52 weeks

Score ranges: 0-45. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit \<= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.

Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Visual Analog Scale52 weeks

Ranges: 0-100 mm. Larger scale indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit \<= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.

Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Affective Score52 weeks

Score ranges: 0-12. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit \<= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.
