Study Summary

The current study examines the effects of milnacipran in patients who have chronic persistent knee pain one year or longer after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to evaluate for a pain-relieving effect.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome is change in pain VAS from baseline to 12 weeks (baseline score minus 12 week or endpoint score; positive number reflects reduction in pain score). The effect size was calculated using the VAS scores measured on a scale of 0 to 100 mm: 0= absence of pain or no pain noted 100 = worst imaginable pain/as bad as can be The higher the score the greater the over all pain intensity.
