Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Score at 26 Weeks (ITT Population)
Time Frame: 26 weeks
|
The change from baseline in knee pain as measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Score comparing the Cingal group to the TH group.
The WOMAC Pain Score is a validated visual analog scale from 0 mm = no pain to 100 mm = highest pain level.
A negative number for the change from baseline indicates reduction in pain.
A greater negative difference from baseline means a better outcome.
