Duloxetine for Patients With Low Back Pain Who Fail to Improve With Oral NSAIDs. A Randomized Placebo-controlled Exploratory Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This research study will help determine whether a medication called duloxetine can improve back pain. It is well documented that many participants who come to the ER with acute low back pain still have low back pain 3 months later. The investigator team will attempt to determine whether duloxetine can help prevent this.
