Spinal Pain Intensity is measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0-100 mm with a lower value representing a better response. The time-weighted average change is calculated by taking the time between adjacent observations divided by the time from the randomization visit to the last observation in the period of interest, and using it as the weight for computation of the average.
