Efficacy of a pain relief formulation RHULEAVE-K in Adults with Exercise Induced Acute Musculoskeletal Pain.

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Excercise induced musculoskeletal pain

Registration Number: CTRI/2020/06/025601

Lead Sponsor: Arjuna Natural Private Ltd

Brief Summary: The potential participants who are willing to provide a written informed consent form will be asked to come for screening. The main inclusion criteria of the screening procedure will be an NRS score (at rest) of 5 or above. McGill â€“SFQ will also be taken at the screening which will be considered as the baseline score. The subjects will be asked specific history of pain like date of occurence, time of onset, duration of pain, part of the body affected, history of similar pain in the past during exercise (<24h, 24-48h, >48h), its severity, duration of pain, any treatment taken etc. Any underlying condition which will affect the current pain or evaluation of treatment will be sought for and excluded by history and physical examination. The participants will then be randomized into either the treatment group or the placebo group.

Post dose for every 30 minutes interval up to 6hrs the participant will be asked to indicate their resting pain intensity and pain relief, and also their pain on movement and pressure using the NRS and PRS scale. McGill-SF questionnaire will be taken at the end of the study to evaluate quality of pain.
