Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Vertebrogenic Radiculopathy L5, S1
Interventions
Drug: Neuromultivit
Drug: Voltaren
Drug: Sirdalud
Registration Number
NCT02508805
Lead Sponsor
Bausch Health Americas, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Neuromultivit (solution for injections) in treatment of vertebrogenic radiculopathy L5, S1 in comparison with standard therapy. The patients are randomised into two groups: standard therapy group and standard therapy plus Neuromultivit group.

Detailed Description

Group 1 (50 patients) receive Neuromultivit (2 ml per day, i.m.) for 7 days, then -Neuromultivit (2 ml per day, i.m.) every other day for 10 days and standard therapy for 20 days.

Group 2 (50 patients) receive only standard therapy for 20 days.

Standard therapy involves:

* Voltaren (100 mg prolonged-released film-coated tablets once daily) for 20 days

* Sirdalud (2 mg tablets three times a day) for 20 days

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in Pain Intensity at Rest and with Activity in Visual Analoguе Scalebaseline and 3 weeks

Self reported pain intensity over the last 24 hours. The amount of pain is marked on a horizontal line at a certain point which reflects pain perception best: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in Pain Quality and Intensity in McGill Pain Questionnairebaseline and 3 weeks

Self reported quality and intensity of pain, described by selecting 7 words, which reflect pain perception best, from 20 groups: three words from groups 1-10, two words from groups 11-15, a single word from group 16, one word from groups 17-20.

Change from Baseline in Low Back Pain Intensity in Aberdeen Back Pain Scalebaseline and 3 weeks

Self reported effect of pain on body functions and daily activities. The scores of responses to 19 questions (6 multiple choice questions and 13 single choice questions) are summed, yielding a total between 0 and 100 with higher values representing greater disability.

Change from Baseline in Low Back Pain Intensity in Quebec Back Pain Disability Scalebaseline and 3 weeks

Self reported pain related functional limitations to 20 activities. The degree of difficulty in performing these daily activities is scored from 0-5 (0 = no effort, 5 = not able to), yielding a total between 0 and 100 with higher values representing greater disability.
