PrimaryChange From Baseline in Median Nerve Compression on Neuromuscular Ultrasound at Week 6, Week 12, and Week 18.Baseline to Week 18Neuromuscular ultrasound measures nerve compression (swelling) by cross sectional area of median nerve, in format % change from baseline.
PrimaryChange From Baseline Electrodiagnostics Distal Sensory Median Nerve Latency at Week 6, Week 12, and Week 18.Baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 18.Latency is the interval between the stimulation of a muscle and the observed response, measuring conduction speed in milliseconds compared to baseline
PrimaryChange From Baseline Electrodiagnostics Motor Median Nerve Latency at Week 6, Week 12, and Week 18.Baseline to Week 18Latency is the interval between the stimulation of a muscle and the observed response measuring nerve conduction speed in milliseconds.

Outcomes6

Each outcome the trial posted results for, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as
PRIMARYChange From Baseline Levine Symptom Severity Scale Status at Weeks 6, 12,18.Baseline-Week 18
Levine symptom severity scale is a measure of mean of median value calculated for both Onabot and Placebo groups based on patient answered questions. It ranges from 1 (no symptoms) to 5 (severe symptoms). This scale indicate how severe the CTS symptoms feel to the patient. Mean values (std deviation) are reported both Onabot and Placebo groups.
Scores on a scaleMEAN
PRIMARYChange From Baseline Levine Function Severity Scale Status at Weeks 6, 12,18.Baseline-Week 18
Levine functional severity scale is a measure of mean of median value calculated for both Onabot and Placebo groups based on patient answered questions. This scale ranges from 1 (no symptoms) to 5 (severe symptoms). The function severity scale indicate interference of the symptoms on activities of daily living. Mean values reported for each group.
