The score for physical function ranges from 0 to 10 and is calculated by adding the ten activities of daily living, each scored from 0 to 3 by the patient (0="without any difficulty", 1="with some difficulty", 2="with much difficulty", and 3="unable to do") and dividing the total raw score by 3. Pain and global estimate of health are measured on a likert scale from 0 to 10, both scored 0 (best) to 10 (worst). The three 0-10 scores for physical function, pain, and global assesment of health are added together for a composite score of 0 to 30. The RAPID3 composite score includes 4 categories: High Severity > 12, Moderate Severity = 6.1 - 12, Low severity = 3.1 - 6, and Remission = 3.	Baseline and Weeks 4, 12, and 24

These domains are Sleep Disturbance (4 items), Sleep Adequacy (2 items), Sleep Quantity (1 item), Daytime Somnolence (3 items), Snoring (1 item), and Awakening short of breath or with a headache, (1 item). Daytime somnolence measures drowsiness or sleepiness during the day. In MOS Sleep norm-based scoring, all scales are scored on the same metric, where 50 is the mean for the general U.S. population and 10 is the standard deviation. Higher scores indicate more severe sleep problems. Least Squares means are from a mixed-effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM).	Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24
Secondary	Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Problems Index I at Each Time Point	The MOS-Sleep comprises 12 items and measures key sleep structures across 6 domains. These domains are Sleep Disturbance (4 items), Sleep Adequacy (2 items), Sleep Quantity (1 item), Daytime Somnolence (3 items), Snoring (1 item), and Awakening short of breath or with a headache, (1 item). The scale also produces two indices. The Sleep Problems Index-I is drawn from 6 items in the four domains including Sleep Disturbance (2 items), Sleep Adequacy (2 items), Shortness of Breath (1 item), and Daytime Somnolence (1 item). In MOS Sleep norm-based scoring, all scales are scored on the same metric, where 50 is the mean for the general U.S. population and 10 is the standard deviation. Higher scores indicate more severe sleep problems. Least Squares means are from a mixed-effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM).	Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24
Secondary	Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Problems Index II at Each Time Point	The MOS-Sleep comprises 12 items and measures key sleep structures across 6 domains. These domains are Sleep Disturbance (4 items), Sleep Adequacy (2 items), Sleep Quantity (1 item), Daytime Somnolence (3 items), Snoring (1 item), and Awakening short of breath or with a headache, (1 item). The scale also produces two indices. Index-II uses 9 items from four domains including Sleep Disturbance (4 items), Sleep Adequacy (2 items), Shortness of Breath (1 item), and Daytime Somnolence (2 items). In MOS Sleep norm-based scoring, all scales are scored on the same metric, where 50 is the mean for the general U.S. population and 10 is the standard deviation. Higher scores indicate more severe sleep problems. Least Squares means are from a mixed-effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM).	Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24
