"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." (NCT03068897)
Timeframe: Baseline and 7 days
| Intervention | units on a scale (Mean) |
|---|---|
| Metaxalone | 10.1 |
| Tizanidine | 11.2 |
| Baclofen | 10.6 |
| Placebo | 11.1 |
Disability will be assessed with the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) where patients are asked to tick a box if they agree with 24 statements regarding their ability to perform certain activities (dressing, housework, walking). If the don't agree with the statement (able to perform those activities) they need to leave the tick-box blank or unchecked. Every agreement (tick) counts as a point and an absolute value is formed (min: 0, max: 24). The higher the value the higher the disability level. (NCT03068897)
Timeframe: 7 days
| Intervention | units on a scale (Median) |
|---|---|
| Metaxalone | 5 |
| Tizanidine | 3 |
| Baclofen | 6 |
| Placebo | 3 |
Change is assessed by verbal numerical scale of which 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable between the baseline ED visit and the one week follow-up (baseline - 1 week ). The baseline questions will refer to the time period immediately prior to ED presentation (Before you came to the ER today, were you able to…..) (NCT03068897)
Timeframe: Baseline and 7 days
| Intervention | Participants (Count of Participants) |
|---|---|
| Metaxalone | 28 |
| Tizanidine | 25 |
| Baclofen | 26 |
| Placebo | 22 |
Patients will be asked what medications they have used for low back pain (NCT03068897)
Timeframe: 7 days
| Intervention | Participants (Count of Participants) |
|---|---|
| Metaxalone | 49 |
| Tizanidine | 48 |
| Baclofen | 49 |
| Placebo | 46 |
