Change From Baseline in the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Average Pain Score During the 8-Week Treatment Period
A self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain experienced over the past 24 hours. The severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as severe as you can imagine). The overall change is based on the estimated main treatment effect. The Least Squares (LS) Mean Value was adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit interaction, and baseline\*visit interaction.
Time frame: Day 1 through 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 8
The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS has a 10-item checklist. Items are rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). The Least Squares (LS) Mean Value was adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit interaction, and baseline\*visit interaction.
Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total and Item Scores at Week 8
SDS is completed by participant; used to assess effect of the participant's symptoms on their work/social/family life. Total scores range from 0 to 30; higher values indicate greater disruption in the participant's work/social/family life. Each item score ranges from 0 to 10 with higher values indicating greater disruption in the participant's work/school life (item 1), social life/leisure activities (item 2), or family life/home responsibilities (item 3). The LS Mean Value was adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline, treatment\*visit interaction, and baseline\*visit interaction.
Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Participants Achieving Remission up to Week 8
The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS has a 10-item checklist. Items are rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms).
