What was measured

The BPI-QOL questionnaire is designed to show the severity and interference of pain in the lives of patients. This is a 7-item questionnaire that asks respondents the extent to which pain interferes with their general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep and enjoyment of life using a 0-10 numerical rating scale in which 0 represents 'does not interfere' and 10 indicates 'completely interferes'. Responses to the 7 items are averaged to form the pain interference scale score. Lower scores are better, showing less interference in daily activities while higher scores show more interference and hence worse outcomes.

Analysis population: 115 subjects were underwent treatment. Of these, 4 subjects terminated treatment prior to full completion. These 4 subjects are excluded from the efficacy analysis. An additional 4 subjects were found to have been enrolled in the study more than once. In a pre-PMA meeting with FDA, it was agreed upon to exclude these 4 subjects from the analysis.
