Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change from Baseline in Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation(PRWE) scale at Day 6
The PRWE scale is a 15-item questionnaire designed to measure wrist pain and disability in activities of daily living. 1. Pain subscale: contains 5 items each of which is further rated from 1-10. The maximum score in this section is 50 and minimum 0. 2. Function subscale: contains total 10 items which are further divided into 2 sections i.e specific activities (having 6 items) and usual activities (having 4 items). The maximum score in this section is 50 and minimum 0. Possible scores range from 0 (best score) to 100 (worst score). Change = (Day 6 score - Baseline score)

CRP is used primarily as an indicator of inflammation.The higher the value, the more severe the inflammation is. Change = (Day 6 score - Baseline score)
