Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pain measurement by numeric rating score The primary outcome of this study is pain measured with the numeric rating score (NRS): 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (the worst imaginable pain). A score of zero (0) will indicate that the patient is pain free, while a score of ten (10) will indicate that they are experiencing the worst pain imaginable. 2 months after injection in comparison to baseline
Secondary Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) The PGIC rating is increasingly being used for determining clinically important change in measures such as ratings of pain. This scale is designed to quantify patient's improvement or deterioration over time, usually either to determine the effect of an intervention or to chart the clinical course of a condition. The scales ask that a person assess his or her current pain, recall that status at a previous time-point, and then calculate the difference between the two. 2 months after injection
Secondary Use of analgesics The quantity of analgesics that the patient assumes for the pain:
All stopped
Decreased
Equal
Increased
2 months after injection
Secondary Sleep Question: "your sleep quality is:
Improved
Equal
Worsened"
2 months after injection
Secondary Walking ability Question: "after the treatment, you can walk:
More than before
Same as before
Less than before"
2 months after injection
Secondary Patient satisfaction Question: "are you satisfied with the result: YES/NO" 2 months after injection
