cyclobenzaprine and Low Back Ache

cyclobenzaprine has been researched along with Low Back Ache in 11 studies

cyclobenzaprine: RN given refers to parent cpd; Lisseril is synonymous for HCl; structure
cyclobenzaprine : 5-Methylidene-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene in which one of the hydrogens of the methylidene group is substituted by a 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl group. A centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, it is used as its hydrochloride salt in the symptomatic treatment of painful muscle spasm.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Functional Disability as Measured by the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire

"The Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) is a 24 item instrument that evaluates the impact of low back pain on one's daily life. It is most sensitive for patients with mild to moderate disability due to acute, sub-acute or chronic low back pain. Each question can be answered as either a yes or no. The score ranges from 0 to 24 where a higher score reflects greater impairment and, therefore, worsening in the quality of life. The change in RMDQ is obtained by subtracting the RMDQ score at one week after discharge from the baseline score." (NCT01587274)
Timeframe: Baseline and one week after discharge from emergency department
