- Injection Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score [ Time Frame: Day 1, 8, and 15: Immediately (within 1 minute) after injection ]The injection pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. The severity of pain was categorized by VAS pain score as: no pain (0), mild pain ≤ 30, moderate pain (>30 and ≤70), and severe pain (>70). Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst imaginable pain).
