- Time to Deterioration in Pain Symptom Scores [ Time Frame: Approximately 56 months ]Time to deterioration in pain symptom scores was assessed by brief pain inventory short form (BPI-SF). Analysis is not final for this outcome measure at PCD, complete data will be posted at SCD.
- Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Pain Scores Per BPI-SF Till End of the Study [ Time Frame: Approximately 56 months ]BPI-SF is an 11-item self-report questionnaire that is designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on daily functions. BPI-SF are 4 questions that assess pain intensity (worst, least, average, right now) and 7 questions that assess impact of pain on daily functions (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, enjoyment of life). Each question is answered on a scale ranging from 0 to 10; '0=No pain and 10=Pain as bad as you can imagine'. Measure can be scored by item, with lower scores being indicative of less pain or pain interference. Analysis is not final for this outcome measure at PCD, complete data will be posted at SCD.

The EQ-5D VAS is a 20 cm vertical scale where patients can mark from 0 (worst health imaginable) to 100 (best health imaginable). Overall scores range from 0 to 1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction. Analysis is not final for this outcome measure at PCD, complete data will be posted at SCD.
