Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Daily Pain Intensity on a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of the Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]
  2. Proportions of Participants With Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 30 Percent (%), ≥50%, and ≥70% Reductions from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Daily Pain Intensity on the NPRS [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]
