Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Compare the change from baseline in ADPS between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12	The mean change in average daily pain score (ADPS) was measured using a 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS; 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain]. The rating averaged over a 7-day period and was based on entries in patients' daily pain diaries	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	Compare the response rate between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12 (Proportion of subjects whose ADPS decreased by =30% and =50% from baseline )	Ratio of Participants Responding to Treatment, as Measured by Average Daily Pain Score (ADPS) Reduction from Baseline. The ADPS is used to determine categorical response rates.	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	Compare the change from baseline in ADPS between HSK16149 and placebo at week 1 to 12	The mean change in average daily pain score (ADPS) was measured using a 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS; 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain]. The rating averaged over a 7-day period and was based on entries in patients' daily pain diaries	From week 1 to week 12
Secondary	Compare the change from baseline in Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12	VAS, in which the participant rates pain on a 100 mm-long horizontal line, where 0 mm = no pain and 100 mm = worst possible pain	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	Compare the change from baseline in Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12	Participants rate their pain in three parts of the questionnaire, which are combined into a single pain intensity score: Part 1 - fifteen descriptors of pain intensity, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe); Part 2 - a visual analog scale (VAS), in which the participant rates pain on a 100 mm-long horizontal line, where 0 mm = no pain and 100 mm = worst possible pain; Part 3 - a Present Pain Intensity index in which the participant rates present pain intensity on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 5 (most intense pain)	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	Compare the change from baseline in Average Daily Sleep interference score(ADSIS) between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12	he sleep interference scores on a scale of 0-10, where 0 = pain did not interfere with sleep to 10 = pain completely interfered with sleep. The weekly ADSIS is based on participants daily sleep interference scores	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	Compare the total consumption of Acetaminophen and Paracetamol and Dihydrocodeine Tartrate between HSK16149 and placebo during the trial		From week 1 to week 12
Secondary	Compare the change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L between HSK16149 and placebo at week 12	The change from baseline in total EuroQol-5-Domain-5-Level health questionnaire	Baseline and week 12
Secondary	AE(adverse event) to evaluate the safety of HSK16149 during the trial	Number and severity of AEs	From week 1 to week 12
Secondary	Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of HSK16149 capsules in Chinese patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia		Week 4,week 8,week 10,week 12
Secondary	Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of HSK16149 capsules in Chinese patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia		Week 4,week 8,week 10,week 12
