Randomised controlled trials

Journal of the American Medical Association
Specialities:
Anaesthesia and pain | Musculo-skeletal disorders
Summary
Among patients (n=323) with acute, nontraumatic, nonradicular low back pain, adding cyclobenzaprine or oxycodone/paracetamol to naproxen alone did not improve functional outcomes or pain at 1-week follow-up, suggesting that these additional medicines offer no value in this setti
