Brief Summary  

It is an open labelled, multicentre, randomized, comparative clinical phase III trial which is going to compare the Efficacy and Safety of Test Product: Thiocolchicoside Oral Spray with Reference Product Myoril 8 mg capsules in patients with Acute Non Specific Low Back Pain. Total 220 patients (including anticipated dropout of about 10%) will be recruited from three investigational sites of India. The patients recruited into the study will receive either two squirts of Thiocolchicoside Oral Spray two times a day or one Myoril 8 mg capsule two times a day as per randomization sheet for 7 consecutive days. The primary efficacy criterion will be measured as Average pain within the last 24 hours (VAS -I) at Day 1 (before starting treatment), Day 3 & Day 8. While secondary efficacy criteria will be measured as Pain on movement (VAS - II) at D1, D3 and D8; Stiffness (Hand to- floor distance) at D1, D3 and D8; Disability (Roland Morris questionnaire) at D1, D3 and D8; Patient perceived change after treatment (Global Perceived Effect , GPE) at D8.Safety assessment will be done in terms of spontaneously reported and directly observed adverse events (AEs) after administered dose until post treatment follow up and suspected side effects observed throughout study.
