Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Severity Scale at Week 12; mLOCF Imputation

"The Brief Pain Inventory was completed by the subject at clinic visits. The Severity Scale (of 0 to 40) is a composite score, which is the sum of the individual ratings for worst pain, least pain, average pain, and current pain. Each individual question is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 indicates No Pain and 10 indicates Pain as bad as you can imagine. The change in pain severity is represented as Week 12 minus Baseline, so greater negative numbers represent greater improvement (pain relief)." (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline in the Brief Pain Inventory Functional Interference Scale at Week 12; mLOCF Imputation

"The Brief Pain Inventory was completed by the subject at clinic visits. The Functional Interference Scale (of 0 to 70) is a composite score that measures the degree to which pain interferes with mood, walking, work, relationships, sleep, general activity, and enjoyment of life. The composite score is a sum of the seven individual question scores. Each individual question is rated in reference to pain over the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 indicates that pain does not interfere and 10 indicates that pain completely interferes with that function, so lower scores represent better outcomes on this scale.~The change in functional interference is represented as Week 12 minus Baseline, so greater negative numbers represent more improvement." (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Overall Quality of Sleep (Chronic Pain Sleep Inventory)

Subjects rated overall quality of sleep over the past week using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where 100=Excellent and 0=Very Poor. This scale was completed during clinic visits. Change from Baseline is a positive value where quality of sleep improved. (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Anxiety Score of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

The HADS was completed at the Baseline and Week 12 clinic visits. The Anxiety Score component of the HADS includes 7 questions, each with 4 possible answer choices (rated 0 to 3). The composite score is created by adding the scores of the 7 individual questions. A score of 0 to 7 is Normal, 8-10 indicates Mild Anxiety, 11-14 indicates Moderate Anxiety, and 15-21 indicates Severe Anxiety. The change from Baseline is calculated as the Week 12 composite score minus the Baseline composite score. (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Depression Score of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

The HADS was completed at the Baseline and Week 12 clinic visits. The Depression Score component of the HADS includes 7 questions, each with 4 possible answer choices (rated 0 to 3). The composite score is created by adding the scores of the 7 individual questions. A score of 0 to 7 is Normal, 8-10 indicates Mild Depression, 11-14 indicates Moderate Depression, and 15-21 indicates Severe Depression. The change from Baseline is calculated as the Week 12 composite score minus the Baseline composite score. (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the McGill Pain Questionnaire (Short Form) Total Score

The McGill Pain Questionnaire asks subjects to rate 15 different kinds of pain, each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe). The total score is a sum of the individual ratings and has a range from 0 to 45, where higher numbers indicate more pain. The 15 types of pain assessed are throbbing, shooting, stabbing, sharp, cramping, gnawing, hot-burning, aching, heavy, tender, splitting, tiring-exhausting, sickening, fearful, and punishing-cruel. This scale was completed at the Baseline and Week 12 clinic visits. The change from Baseline is calculated as the Week 12 total score minus the Baseline total score, so greater negative numbers indicate more improvement (pain relief). (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Worst Daily Pain NPRS Score; mLOCF Imputation

"Pain in the feet was scored daily at bedtime by the subject on a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale. Subjects were asked to record the worst pain in their feet over the past 24 hours. A score of 0 indicated no pain and a score of 10 was worst possible pain. The change in pain is represented as Week 12 minus Baseline, so greater negative numbers represent greater improvement (greater pain relief)." (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline (average of Days -7 to -1) and Week 12 (average of Days 78 to 84)

Percentage of Subjects Who Experience at Least 30% Reduction in Average Daily Pain From Baseline; mLOCF Imputation

"Pain in the feet was scored daily at bedtime by the subject on a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). Subjects were asked to record average pain in the feet over the past 24 hours. A score of 0 indicated no pain and a score of 10 was worst possible pain." (NCT00695565)
Timeframe: Baseline (average of Days -7 to -1) and Week 12 (average of Days 78 to 84)

Percentage of Subjects Who Experience at Least 50% Reduction in Average Daily Pain From Baseline; mLOCF Imputation

Timeframe: Baseline (average of Days -7 to -1) and Week 12 (average of Days 78 to 84)

Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain NPRS Score for Each Week of Treatment; mLOCF Imputation

"Pain in the feet was scored daily at bedtime by the subject on a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). Subjects were asked to record average pain in the feet over the past 24 hours. A score of 0 indicated no pain and a score of 10 was worst possible pain. A weekly average was calculated from the daily scores for each week. The change in pain is represented as the average weekly score minus Baseline, so greater negative numbers represent more improvement (more pain relief)." (NCT00695565)

Change From Baseline to Day 84 (Week 12) in Numeric Pain Rating Scale Score

"The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a single reading that measures the patients interpretation of their pain on a scale from 0, no pain to 10, worst pain imaginable. The change from baseline can range from -10 to 10. The change from Baseline (averaged over Day -14 to Day -8) to End-of-Treatment (averaged over Days 78 to 84 [±3 days]) in the Numeric Pain Rating Scale score assessing the average pain in the past 24 hours in the painful areas of the feet averaged over Days 78 to 84 compared to the 7 days at the Baseline Phase (Days -14 to -8). For the primary efficacy endpoint, the mean change in pain intensity from Baseline to Week 12 was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the Baseline pain intensity score serving as a covariate. The statistical model also included treatment, site, site by treatment interaction, and strata. If the site by treatment interaction term was not significant at the 0.1 level, then it was excluded from the model." (NCT02068027)
Timeframe: The change from Baseline (averaged over Day -14 to Day -8) to End-of-Treatment (averaged over Days 78 to 84 [±3 days])

Change in Blood Pressure After Intrathecal Injection of Clonidine.

"Subjects baseline blood pressure (systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)), and blood pressures after clonidine injection was compared against baseline to assess efficacy of clonidine in refractory hypertensive subjects. Subject's blood pressure was monitored continuously after intrathecal injection of clonidine until subjects blood pressure nadir and return to pre clonidine injection level. The mean value reported below are the average changes in blood pressure from baseline (pre clonidine injection) in both SBP and DBP during post clonidine injection blood pressure monitoring for 4 hours.~Blood pressure measurements were collected every 10 minutes for first hour after injection, and every 15 minutes after the first hour, up to 4 hours were averaged to report the change from baseline." (NCT01297335)
Timeframe: Baseline, Every 10 Minutes for first hour after clonidine injection, and every 15 minutes after first hour, until 4 hours after clonidine injection

Changes in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Ratings of Sedation and Sensation of Dry Mouth Reported by the Subjects, Pre and 1 Hour Post Injection

Subjects were asked to rate severity of two of the most common side effects of clonidine, sedation and sensation of dry mouth, at pre and post (1 hour after) intrathecal administration of clonidine. The mean changes between pre and post injection VAS ratings of sedation and sensation of dry mouth are reported below. The VAS scale ranges from 1 to 10 cm, with higher values indicating higher level of sedation and higher level of dry mouth. (NCT01297335)
Timeframe: Before clonidine injection (Baseline), and at 1 hour after clonidine injection.

Likert Scale Pain Rating

Likert scale is 11 point digital pain rating system that asks subjects to rate their pain from 0 to 10. Rating of 0 means no pain at all, and in increasing order, 10 would mean worst pain imaginable/ unbearable pain. (NCT01297335)
Timeframe: Pre-dose and 1 hour post injection.

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
