简要总结

Thisstudy is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, placebo controlledmulti-centre Pilot trial comparing the efficacy and Tolerability of a BoswelliaSerrata Extract Ointment in Patients with Chronic Low Back Ache in comparisonwith placebo ointment daily on three times daily dosage for 14 days in 140patients with chronic low back ache that will be conducted in five centers inIndia.
