- Percentage of Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Subscale Score at Week 12 — Baseline to week 12
The WOMAC is a statistically validated, 24-item questionnaire assessing current OA symptoms and functional limitations. The Pain subscale score consists of 5 items each rated on a 100mm VAS scale (0mm=no pain to 100mm=extreme pain). In case of premature discontinuation, the last assessment was used to calculate the percentage of change.
