Brief Summary

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

Phase III longitudinal, multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Fixed-Dose Combination of Etoricoxib/Cyanocobalamin Versus Etoricoxib in Patients With Acute Low Back Pain

Detailed Description

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

Researchers will compare the fixed-dose combination of Etoricoxib/Cyanocobalamin versus Etoricoxib in acute low back pain by comparing the proportion of patients that reported an improvement in pain during the 7 days of follow up. The adverse events related to the interventions will be registered during follow up.

Participants will:

* Be randomized into one of the 2 intervention groups (A or B)
* Visit the clinic in 3 occasions (day 0, day 3 of follow up and day 7 of follow up)
* In case needed the patient could take 50 mg of tramadol, as a rescue medication, previous authorization of de principal investigator
