TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as
PRIMARYPercent of Subjects Who Are Pain Free at 2 Hours.2 hours
The basic population for efficacy analysis was ITT. No explicit process to impute missing values at any given assessment timepoint. Instead, missing values were implicitly imputed by the repeated measures analysis statistical model. So, at any given timepoint, the number of subjects analyzed is slightly less than the total ITT population.
