Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline to 13 Week Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Modified Short Form-adolescent Version 24 Hour Average Pain Severity Item

    Time frame: Baseline, 13 weeks

    Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) modified short form is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain and the interference of pain on function, Severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Severity of pain is measured based on the average pain experienced over the past 24-hours.

    Mixed Model Repeated Measure (MMRM) model with terms for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, baseline, treatment by visit, and baseline by visit was used to produce Least Square (LS) means.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline to 13 Week Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Modified Short Form-Adolescent Version Severity and Interference Items

    Time frame: Baseline, 13 weeks

    The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Modified Short Form Adolescent Version is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain and the interference of pain on function. The Severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).There are 4 questions assessing the severity for worst pain, least pain, average pain in the past 24 hours (which is the primary efficacy measure), and the pain right now. The Interference scores range from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). There are 7 original questions assessing the interference of pain in the past 24 hours on the following: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. The BPI: Adolescent Version added an eighth interference question to assess interference of pain on school work.

    MMRM model with terms for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, baseline, treatment by visit, and baseline by visit was used to produce LS means.
