Notes: Mean pain scores were based on an 11-point NRS, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain. PRSI scores were based on an 11-point NRS, where 0 = pain does not interfere with sleep, and 10 = pain completely interferes with sleep. Patients categorized as having moderate pain had mean pain scores of ≥4 to <7 at baseline. Patients categorized as having severe pain had mean pain scores ≥7 to 10 at baseline. Patients with mild pain (mean pain score <4) were excluded from the study.
Abbreviations: NRS, numeric rating scale; PRSI, pain-related sleep interference.
