What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Injection Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score

    The injection pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. The severity of pain was categorized by VAS pain score as: no pain (0), mild pain ≤ 30, moderate pain (\>30 and ≤70), and severe pain (\>70). Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst imaginable pain).

    Time frame: Day 1, 8, and 15: Immediately (within 1 minute) after injection

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 30, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
