- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Burning (Superficial) Spontaneous Pain [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 ]Participants rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Pressing (Deep) Spontaneous Pain [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Participant rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Paroxysmal Pain [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 ]Participant rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Evoked Pain [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Participant rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Paresthesia/Dysethesia [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Participant rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) - Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Participant rated questionnaire to evaluate different symptoms of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia [P/D]) including 10 descriptors quantified on a 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire. Higher score indicates a greater intensity of pain.
- Patient's Global Impression of Change Score (PGIC). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 ]Participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) at week 4. The PGIC was combined to produce a 3-point scale, "Improved", "No Change" and "Worse".
- Daily Sleep Interference Scale Score (DSIS). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 ]Participant rated 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (pain does not interfere with sleep) to 10 (pain completely interferes with sleep) during past 24-hour period. Higher score indicates a greater level of sleep disturbance. Self-assessment performed daily on awakening prior to taking study medication. This score was measured as a weekly average.
- Total Amount of Rescue Medication Per Week [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and Week 4 ]Total amount of rescue medication participants take per week
- Number of Days Participants Take Rescue Medication [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 ]Number of days participants take rescue medication per week.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Withdrawals Due to Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Screening to Day 36, and Day 64 ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life threatening (immediate risk of death); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect.
- Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Values of Potential Clinical Importance [ Time Frame: Screening, Day 1, Day 15 and Day 29 ]The total number of participants with laboratory test abnormalities (without regard to baseline abnormality) was assessed. Clinical laboratory tests included hematology, chemistry, urinalysis and some other tests.
- Fasted Total Cholesterol Values [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Percentage Change from Baseline in Fasted Total Cholesterol values
- Fasted Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]Percentage Change from Baseline in LDL cholesterol Friedewald by PEG
- Plasma Concentration of PF-05089771 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4 ]All participants in this group were analysed. Only plasma PK concentration of PF-05089771 was analysed.
