Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS). It is expected to find a decrease of at least 30% in pain on the VAS between the initial pre-infiltration evaluation and the post-infiltration evaluations at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks. | — |
