Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Summary of Adverse Events	Number of subjects with all causality adverse events, serious adverse events, severe adverse events, adverse events resulted in discontinuation, dose reduced or temporary discontinuation. Subjects are counted only once per treatment in each row.	52 weeks
Secondary	Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Sensory Score	Score ranges: 0-33. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit <= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.	52 weeks
Secondary	Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Affective Score	Score ranges: 0-12. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit <= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.	52 weeks
Secondary	Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Total Score	Score ranges: 0-45. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit <= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.	52 weeks
Secondary	Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Present Pain Intensity	Score ranges: 0-5. Higher scores indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit <= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind. Endpoint: The last evaluation during dose adjustment/maintenance step of open-label.	52 weeks
Secondary	Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire the Efficacy of Change: Visual Analog Scale	Ranges: 0-100 mm. Larger scale indicate more severe pain. Baseline: The last evaluation on or before Day 1 of double-blind for subjects that took pregabalin in double-blind and last visit <= Day 1 of open-label for subjects that took placebo in double-blind.
