Further study details as provided by Abbott:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Pain intensity difference from baseline to final assessment using the VAS scale (100 mm, 0 being "no pain" and 100 being "worst pain imaginable").

Secondary Outcome Measures:

WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index
MOS Sleep Scale
Pain Intensity difference as assessed by the Subject’s Assessment of Arthritis Pain Intensity by VAS (at each scheduled assessment other than final)
Subject’s Global Assessment of Study Drug
Subject’s and Physician’s Global Assessment of Arthritis Status
Time-interval weighted measure of pain intensity difference from baseline (area under the curve) divided by the maximum benefit possible for an individual subject
Treatment responders
SF-36v2TM Health Status Survey (Acute)
