Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the treatment outcome of botulinum toxin A compared to placebo (saline) on PDAP/AO patient pain assessment using NRS, measured at baseline and 24 weeks after the first BTX-A injection.;Secondary Objective: Secondary aims are to evaluate the treatment outcome of botulinum toxin A for treatment of PDAP/AO on (1) Pain related variables, evaluated with NRS, MPQ, PDRAW and by patient pain medication use; (2) Physical functioning, evaluated with GCPS, JFLS-20, OHIP-S14; (3) Emotional functioning, evaluated with PHQ-9, GAD-7, PHQ-15, PSS-10, PCS, and ISI; (4) Somatosensory abnormalities, evaluated with QualST; (5) Evaluate the safety of using botulinum toxin A for treatment of PDAP/AO by evaluation of frequencies of adverse events. (6) Patient assessed general improvement evaluated with PGIC ;Primary end point(s): Patient pain assessment using the NRS scale;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 24 weeks after the first BTX-A injection

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary end points and methods for evaluation are listed together with the secondary objectivs of the trial in section E.2.2.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 1 year after the first BTX-A injection
