Clinical Trial Summary

Although approved for minor strains, sprains and contusions, FLECTOR Patch has not been studied extensively in the setting of acute back strain. This study is being conducted as an initial step in demonstrating the benefit of FLECTOR Patch specifically for back strain. In particular, this study is expected to provide information about the amount of improvement in back strain among subjects using the FLECTOR Patch, which may then be used to inform subsequent studies.

Primary Mean Change From Baseline to End of Treatment (EOT) in Response to Modified Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI) Question 5: Average Pain Over the Last 24 Hours Participant-rated instrument to assess functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, normal work, and enjoyment of life) in past 24 hours. Question 5: Please rate your pain by marking the box beside the number that best describes your pain on the average (over the last 24 hours); rated on an 11 point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline, End of Treatment (last visit up to Day 15) No
Secondary Number of Participants With Change From Baseline (Bsl) to EOT in Response to Modified Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI) Question 1: Pain Other Than Everyday Kind of Pain Participant-rated instrument to assess functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, normal work, and enjoyment of life) in past 24 hours. Question 1: Have you had pain other than everyday kinds of pain?; response = Yes or No. Baseline, End of Treatment (last visit up to Day 15) No
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline to EOT in Response to Modified Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI) Question 3: Pain at Its Worst in the Last 24 Hours Participant-rated instrument to assess functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, normal work, and enjoyment of life) in past 24 hours. Question 3: Rate your pain at its worst in the last 24 hours; rated on an 11 point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline, End of Treatment (last visit up to Day 15) No
Secondary Mean Change From Baseline to EOT in Response to Modified Brief Pain Inventory (mBPI) Question 4: Pain at Its Least in the Last 24 Hours Participant-rated instrument to assess functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, normal work, and enjoyment of life) in past 24 hours. Question 4: Rate your pain at its least in the last 24 hours; rated on an 11 point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).

Question 8: Rate your percent reduction in pain from Baseline (0% = no relief to 100% = complete relief). Baseline, End of Treatment (last visit up to Day 15) No
Secondary Number of Participants Per Global Pain Relief Scores at the End of Treatment as Assessed by the Participant Global pain relief as assessed by participant using a 5-point scale where 5 = complete relief, 4=a lot of improvement, 3=moderate improvement, 2=slight improvement, and 1=no change. End of Treatment (up to Day 15) No
Secondary Number of Participants Per Global Pain Relief Scores at the End of Treatment as Assessed by the Investigator Participants' global pain relief as assessed by investigator using a 5-point scale where 5 = complete relief, 4=a lot of improvement, 3=moderate improvement, 2=slight improvement, and 1=no change.
