ANOVA: analysis of variance; BPI: Brief Pain Inventory; LS: least-squares; SAT: Self-Assessment of Treatment; SE: standard error.

1Concurrent validity was evaluated using ANOVA to compare BPI changes in pain by SAT response levels (patients improved; no change; worsened). Pooled dataset included data from two clinical trials, Studies C116 (N = 349) and C117 (N = 349).
