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. The primary outcome measures will be Change in Visual Analogue Scalescore of pain experienced at end of study as compared to baseline. The secondary outcomeswill be Changein Modified Oswestry low back pain disability index score at end of study ascompared to baseline, Arthus Pain score (sum of current pain, average pain inlast week and worst pain in last week) at the end of study, Pain relief scoreat the end of study and Patient’s and investigators overall assessment.
