What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Score Using a 10-cm Visual Analog Pain Scale (1 = no Pain, 10 = Very Severe Pain)

    Assessment of difference in pain score in the Radiesse Dermal Filler Mixed with Lidocaine nasolabial fold v. the Radiesse Dermal Filler without Lidocaine nasolabial fold using a 10-cm visual analog pain scale (1 = no pain, 10 = very severe pain).

    Measured: Immediately after injection (Time 0)

  2. Patients With Clinically Significant Reduction in Pain

    Assessment of clinical significance of pain reduction in the Radiesse Injectable Dermal Filler Mixed with Lidocaine nasolabial fold v. Radiesse Injectable Dermal Filler without Lidocaine nasolabial fold defined as number of participants with >/= 2cm difference on a visual analog pain scale (1 = no pain, 10 = very severe pain).

    Measured: Immediately after injection (Time 0)

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
