Meaningful change thresholds for WI-NRS (phase 3 cohort)

Criteria N Mean WI-NRS change scorea (SD) Mean % change from baseline Effect size (Cohen’s d)
Primary anchor-based approach
 PGI-C minimally improved 198 − 1.85 (1.73) − 25.73 1.09
Secondary anchor-based approach
 PGI-C much improved 209 − 3.54 (2.08) − 51.02 2.04
 PGI-C minimally or much improved 407 − 2.72 (2.09) − 38.72 1.48
