Registered outcomes14

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

List	Outcome	Time frame	Description
Primary	Pain Response	12 months	Binary response variable defined by reduction of at least 30% in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) total score from baseline
Secondary	50% Reduction in Opioid Daily Dose	12 months	Binary response variable defined by reduction of at least 50% in opioid daily dose (morphine-equivalent mg) from baseline
Secondary	Composite Response	12 months	Binary composite response variable defined by achieving at least a 30% reduction in BPI total score and at least 50% reduction in opioid daily dose from baseline.
Secondary	Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Total Score	12 months	Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) total score calculated as average of 11 items (range 0-10; higher is worse)
Other	VR-12 Physical Component Score	12 months	Veterans RAND 12-item health survey (VR-12) Physical Component Score (range 0-100; higher is better)
Other	Symptom Checklist	12 months	Medication-related adverse symptoms count (0-19; higher is worse)
Other	PODS Problems	12 months	Prescribed Opioids Difficulty Scale (PODS) Problems score (range 0-32; higher is worse)
Other	PHQ-8	12 months	Patient Health Questionnaire 8-item (PHQ-8) depression scale score (range 0-24; higher is worse)
Other	GAD-7	12 months	General Anxiety Disorders 7-item questionnaire (GAD-7) score (range 0-21; higher is worse)
Other	PROMIS Sleep Disturbance	12 months	Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) sleep disturbance short-form 4a T-score (higher is worse). Raw scores were rescaled into standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 representing the average for the US population and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. A person with a T-score of 40 is one SD below the mean.
