- Short Form McGill Pain Score. [ Time Frame: Visit 2 (randomisation) and Visit 10 (end of study (12 weeks) or withdrawal) ]The McGill Pain Score is the sum of the answers to three questions: A - describe your pain during the last week, 15 descriptors, (from 0 to 45 total), B - rate your pain during the last week (from 0 to 100), C: present pain intensity (0 to 5). Total pain score will be out of 150, with 0 being least pain and 150 being most pain.
