Sum of Change in Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) Scores Over the 4-day Treatment Period Primary · 4 days

Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument measuring of the severity of osteoarthritis-related stiffness in the target knee joint. The BASS score ranges from 0 to 40 and a higher score indicates worse stiffness. This endpoint was calculated by summing the changes from baseline (CFB) in BASS scores at Days 2, 3, and 4 of the treatment periods.
