Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Low back pain is a common cause of visit to emergency department. It is not clear if skeletal muscle relaxants are of benefit for patients with acute low back pain. This is a randomized study to determine if skeletal muscle relaxants, when combined with naproxen, improve outcomes more than naproxen alone

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with acute, non-traumatic, non-radicular low back pain will be enrolled at the time of discharge from the emergency department. Participants will be followed by telephone one week and 3 months after the ED visit
