What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the 7-Day Average Daily Pain Score Using an 11-Point Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8
Participants recorded the pain in their knee during the previous 24 hours in a daily diary where: 0=no pain to 10= worst pain possible. The daily pain scores over 7-days were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Week 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC™) Pain Score Using an 11-Point Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
The WOMAC Pain Score consisted of 5 questions about pain completed by the participant where: 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain for a total possible Pain Score of 0 (best) to 50 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
Change From Baseline in the WOMAC™ Physical Function Score Using an 11-Point Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
The WOMAC Physical Function Score consisted of 17 questions about the difficulty of daily activities completed by the participant where: 0=no difficulty to 10=extreme difficulty for a total possible Physical Function Score of 0 (best) to 170 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
Patient Global Impression of Change (GIC) Using a 7-Point Scale
Time Frame: Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
The participant rated the change in their health status since enrollment using a 7-point scale where: +3=very much improved, +2=much improved, +1=minimally improved, 0=no change, -1=minimally worse, -2=much worse and -3=very much worse. Negative scores indicate worsening and positive scores indicate improvement.
Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
Change From Baseline in the 7-Day Average Daily Worst Pain Score Using an 11-Point Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
Participants recorded the pain in their knee during the previous 24 hours in a daily diary where: 0=no pain to 10= worst pain possible. The daily worst pain scores over 7-days were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Week 24
