Change From Baseline Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Scale at 12 Months Primary · 12 months

Change from baseline score of pain intensity at 12 months. To collect VAS, patients marked a slash on a 10 cm horizontal line, with 0 cm indicating "no pain" and 10 cm indicating "worst possible pain." The distance from the left end of the line to the patient's mark was measured by the administrator in centimeters. Lower numbers were representative of lower pain levels.
