- Limitations and caveats
Due to the open-label, uncontrolled nature of the trial and the concomitant use of pain medication, the effect of neridronic acid on pain intensity and the side effect profile of neridronic acid have to be interpreted with care.

Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of Participants With Occurrence of Any Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) | Day 1 to Week 52 | The primary endpoint of this trial was a binary endpoint assessing whether or not a participant experienced any TEAE. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Occurrence of Permanent Discontinuation From Treatment Due to an Adverse Event | Day 1 to Day 10 | The investigator could choose to permanently discontinue a participant from treatment if continued exposure of the participant to neridronic acid could have posed an undue risk to the participant. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in the Current Pain Intensity Score | Baseline to Week 12 and Week 26 | The current Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)-related pain intensity score was captured at each visit using an 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 = "no pain" and 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine", a higher score indicates more pain. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in the Current Pain Intensity Score | Baseline, at Week 12 and Week 26 | Participants with at least a 30 percent decrease in the current pain intensity score were considered to have responded to treatment. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 50% Decrease From Baseline in the Current Pain Intensity Score | Baseline, at Week 12 and Week 26 | Participants with at least a 50 percent decrease in the current pain intensity score were considered to have responded to treatment. |
| Secondary | Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Week 12 | at Week 12 | The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a self-reported measure of perceived change in overall condition since the start of the study. Participants selected one of seven responses ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse". A response of "very much improved" or "much improved" is generally regarded as a clinically important improvement. |
| Secondary | Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Week 26 | at Week 26 | The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a self-reported measure of perceived change in overall condition since the start of the study. Participants selected one of seven responses ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse". A response of "very much improved" or "much improved" is generally regarded as a clinically important improvement. |
| Secondary | Change in the Pain Interference Score of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) | Baseline to Week 12 and Week 26 | The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Interference Score is the mean value of 7 self-reported items in question 9 of the BPI Short Form Questionnaire. Participants rated their interference of pain with general activity, walking, work, sleep and other activities in the past 24 hours, with possible ratings from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). The BPI interference Score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating greater pain interference of daily activities. |
