Pain interference scores at each visit (sleep and activity respectively) were defined as the average of the respective daily interference scores during the 7 last available days prior to the corresponding visit. An 11-point Likert scale was used to assess the subject's sleep. The subject rated how the pain had interfered with sleep over the past 12 hours, from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference). A negative value indicates improvement in symptoms from Baseline. Subjects rated pain interference over the past 12 hours for 7 days prior to each visit and an average value was calculated for each subject.

A 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the subject's current pain. The subject rated their current pain from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain). A negative value indicates improvement in symptoms.

The PGIC is a 7-point categorical rating scale in which the subject rates the change in his/her pain since starting trial medication. Categories are as following: much worse, moderately worse, mildly worse, no change, mildly better, moderately better, much better.

Subjects were asked to assess different symptoms of neuropathic pain with respect to severity using the Neuropathic Pain Symptoms Inventory (NPSI) at different visits. It comprised of 10 descriptive symptom questions (pain feels like burning, squeezing, pressure electric shocks, stabbing, pins/needles, tingling, provoked or increased by brushing, pressure or contact with something cold), and 2 temporal questions (duration of pain, number of pain attacks). The NPSI scores of the descriptive questions are reported in categories below, which were rated on an 11-point scale from 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (maximum intensity of pain). Higher scores indicate a greater intensity of pain. A negative value indicates improvement in symptoms from Baseline. This assessment was done only in subjects from countries in which a validated version of the NPSI was available.

Categories of duration of pain are as following: permanently, between 8 and 12 h, between 4 and 7 h, between 1 and 3 h, Less than 1 h. This assessment was done only in subjects from countries in which a validated version of the NPSI was available.

Quality of life was analyzed using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey quality of life questionnaire. The SF-36 is a participant self-rated questionnaire which consists of 8 sub-scores ranging from 0-100 with higher scores indicating a better health state. The sub-scores are: 1. Physical Functioning, 2. Role-Physical, 3. Bodily Pain, 4. General Health, 5. Vitality, 6. Social Functioning, 7. Role-Emotional, 8. Mental Health. Items 1-4 primarily contribute to the physical component Summary (PCS) score of the SF-36. Items 5-8 primarily contribute to the mental component summary (MCS) score of the SF-36. The PCS and MCS were based on the standardized values of the 8 domains. The maximum and minimum possible values for PCS and MCS is 0-100, where higher scores indicate good condition. A positive value indicates improvement from baseline in quality of life.
