Study Summary

The study will test the hypothesis that, in patients with knee pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but still have significant knee pain, duloxetine 60 to 120 milligrams (mg) daily for 10 weeks will provide additional reduction in pain.

Primary Outcome

The weekly mean 24-hour average pain score was calculated from the participant's daily 24-hour average pain ratings using an 11-point numeric rating scale, with scores from 0 (indicating "no pain") to 10 (indicating "the worst possible pain"). The Least Squares Mean estimates were adjusted for baseline, treatment, investigator (pooled), week, treatment\*week, and baseline\*week.
