Study type | Interventional |
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, up to 84 patients with non-radicular neck pain will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive up to 3 topical lidocaine or placebo patches, to be applied 12 hours per day. At the end of 4 weeks, patients will return for patients' post-phase I treatment evaluation. Patients will crossover to receive up to 3 identical-looking topical patches of the treatment patients did not receive, to be applied in the same fashion for the same 4-week period. The primary outcome measure will be average neck pain over the past week, 4 weeks post-treatment. A positive categorical outcome (i.e. responder) will be defined as a 2-point or greater decrease in average neck pain coupled with a patient global impression of change score >/= 5/7.
