  1. 01HumanRandomized controlled trialEfficacy outcome

    In patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, salmon calcitonin and paracetamol with shared physical therapy produced no significant between-group difference in pain.

    In plain wordsIn patients with spinal stenosis, pain did not differ significantly between salmon calcitonin and paracetamol with the same physical therapy.

    Summary · context
    After 8 weeks of treatment, both groups benefited significantly with respect to VAS, functional status and walking distance (p < 0.001).
    Summary · context
    In this single blind, and randomized study, patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis who were diagnosed by clinical findings and MRI and having NC were included.
    Summary · context
    Patients were randomized between the salmon calcitonin 200 U/day + physical therapy (n = 23) (Group 1) and paracetamol 1,500 mg/day + physical therapy (n = 22) (Group 2) treatment groups.
