Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must present with clinical symptoms of neurogenic claudication (exercise
induced leg pain, numbness, heaviness, or vague discomfort in part or all of one or
both legs provoked with walking and standing and relieved by sitting, squatting, or
forward flexion posturing) and endorse limitation of walking tolerance due to these
symptoms

- Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain = 6 in response to the following question: "Circle
one number (from 0=no pain to 10=worst pain) - How would you rate the worst leg and
lower back pain you experienced during walking last week?"

- Patients must have confirmatory imaging by MRI or CT scan demonstrating at least one
level of lumbar spinal stenosis within 1 year

- Duration of symptoms > 3 months

- Age > 50 years; male or female

Exclusion Criteria:

- Past or present existence of a movement disorder, e.g., Parkinsonism, or an neurologic
disease that might affect the ability to ambulate (e.g., signs/symptoms of cauda
equina compression)

- Cognitive impairment preventing full understanding or participation in the study

- Peripheral vascular disease

- Moderate to severe arthritis of the knee or hip that might severely compromise
ambulation

- Past or present lower extremity peripheral vascular disease

- Serious concomitant medical illness (e.g., heart disease) that might impair ambulation
assessment

- Previous lumbar surgery for spinal stenosis (laminectomy with or without fusion)
within the past 2 years or epidural steroid injection in the preceding 4 months.

- Severe psychiatric disorder

- Mean time to severe symptoms > 15 minutes.

- Epidural steroid treatment within the last three months

- History of drug or alcohol dependence

- Serious intercurrent illness

- Hypersensitivity to oxymorphone hydrochloride

- Hypersensitivity to propoxyphene or acetaminophen

- Severe bronchial asthma or hypercarbia, morphine analogs such as codeine, or any of
the other ingredients of Opana

- Suspicion of paralytic ileus

- Moderate or severe hepatic impairment

- Major conduction abnormality on ECG or cardiac (Bruce protocol) stress test within the
past year.

- Ongoing treatment with a long-acting opioid or regularly-scheduled use of a short
acting opioid (>3 doses/day on four or more days/week).
