Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline (Week 8) in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) 24-hour Average Pain Item Score at Week 34 Endpoint

Maintenance effect of duloxetine 60 mg in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) was assessed by the change in BPI 24-hour average pain item score from baseline of the maintenance therapy arm (week 8) to 34 week endpoint in patients who achieved at least a 30 percent reduction on the BPI 24-hour average pain item after 8 weeks of acute therapy (Acute Therapy Phase). BPI is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. The severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as severe as you can imagine).

Time frame: Baseline (Week 8), Week 34
