Interference scores: 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) on each question assessed interference of pain in past 24 hours for general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Average interference = average of non-missing scores of individual interference items. LS Means were adjusted for baseline, investigator, treatment, visit, a treatment-by-visit interaction, and a baseline-by-visit interaction.
Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory - Severity (BPI-S) Subscale Score at 5 WeeksBaseline, 5 WeeksBPI-S was a self-reported scale measuring severity of pain. Severity scores: 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain) on each question assessed worst pain, least pain, and average pain in past 24 hours, and current pain. LS Means were adjusted for baseline, investigator, treatment, visit, a treatment-by-visit interaction, and a baseline-by-visit interaction.
Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) Score at 5 WeeksWeek 5PGI-I was a scale that measured the participant's perception of improvement at the time of assessment compared with the start of treatment. The score ranged from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse). LS Means were adjusted for baseline, investigator, treatment, visit, a treatment-by-visit interaction, and a baseline-by-visit interaction.
Change From Baseline in Assessment of Sleep Questionnaire (ASQ) Total Score at 5 WeeksBaseline, 5 weeksASQ consisted of 21 items (including a single item to assess overall sleep quality) and 3 subscales: Sleep Onset and Maintenance (items 1-3, 5-6, 9, 11); Sleep Experience (items 4, 7, 8, 10, 12); and Awakening Experience (items 13-20). Each item was scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no sleep at all) to 5 (a lot of sleep). Each subscale was calculated as the mean of the individual items comprising the subscale. A total ASQ score was calculated as the mean of the subscale scores; higher scores represented better sleep.
Change From Baseline in Total Western Ontario and MacMaster (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Physical Function, Pain, and Stiffness Subscales at 5 WeeksBaseline, 5 weeksThe Total WOMAC index (pain, stiffness, physical function subscales) was completed by the participant and had 24 questions. Each question was answered using a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4). The Total score had a range from 0 (none) to 96 (extreme). LS Means were adjusted for baseline, investigator, treatment, visit, a treatment-by-visit interaction, and a baseline-by-visit interaction.
Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey Bodily Pain Score at 5 WeeksBaseline, 5 weeksThe SF-36 Health Status Survey was a generic, health-related scale assessing participants' quality of life on 8 domains: physical functioning, social functioning, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, role-physical, role-emotional and general health and 2 summary scores (mental component summary \[MCS\] and physical component summary \[PCS\]). MCS and PCS scores=0-100 (higher scores indicated better health status). Domain scores: general health=5-25; physical functioning=10-30; role-physical=4-8; role-emotional=3-6; social functioning=2-10; bodily pain=2-11; vitality=4-24; mental health=5-30.
Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life Scale - 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) at 5 Weeks: United States Population Based Index ScoreBaseline, 5 weeksThe EuroQoL Questionnaire - 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) was a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. The profile allowed participants to rate their health state in 5 health domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and mood. A single score between 1 and 3 was generated for each domain. For each participant, the outcome rating on the 5 domains was mapped to a single index through an algorithm. The index ranged between 0 and 1, with the higher score indicating a better health state perceived by the participant.
Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Night Pain Severity Score From Electronic Diary at 5 WeeksBaseline, 5 weeksThis scale measured night pain APS scores.
