Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Time-Weighted Summed Pain Intensity Difference Measured Using the 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale From 0 to 48 Hours After Trial Entry (VASSPID-48)0 - 48 hoursThe pain intensity is assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), which is a horizontal line 100 mm in length. Subjects mark the VAS with a single vertical line to indicate their current pain level, with 0 mm representing No Pain and 100 mm representing Worst Possible Pain. The VAS summed pain intensity difference (VASSPID) is calculated as the sum of the pain intensity difference values at each follow-up time point (difference between the starting pain intensity and the pain intensity at the given assessment time) multiplied by the amount of time (in hours) since the prior assessment.

The Time-Weighted Summed Pain Intensity Difference Measured Using the 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale From 0 to 48 Hours After Trial Entry (VASSPID-48)

The pain intensity is assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), which is a horizontal line 100 mm in length. Subjects mark the VAS with a single vertical line to indicate their current pain level, with 0 mm representing No Pain and 100 mm representing Worst Possible Pain. The VAS summed pain intensity difference (VASSPID) is calculated as the sum of the pain intensity difference values at each follow-up time point (difference between the starting pain intensity and the pain intensity at the given assessment time) multiplied by the amount of time (in hours) since the prior assessment.
