The pain NRS was complete at the same time each day, i.e. bedtime in the evening. The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your pain or average pain in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain due to cancer. A negative value indicates an improvement in pain score from baseline.
Subjects recorded their use of escape medication each day on their diary card.
A positive 30% pain response is defined as a reduction of at least 30% in the mean NRS average pain score from baseline to week 5 (last 3 days). The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your pain or average pain in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain due to cancer. The average pain NRS was completed at the same time each day, i.e. bedtime in the evening.
