Patient Preferences, Analgesic Delivery Method and Pain Reduction in Spine Patients

Registration Number
NCT01263652
Lead Sponsor
Western Galilee Hospital-Nahariya
Brief Summary

The investigators will conduct a randomized double blind study, to determine whether patient analgesic delivery mode preference affects pain reduction quality in non-surgical spine patients.

The patients will receive both intra-muscular and oral non-narcotic analgesics and placebo. During the study period, pain reduction parameters will be collected. At the end of the study period, the investigators will attempt to find a correlation between pre-study patient preferences and the quality of the pain reduction achieved.
