NSAID effect on periostin in back pain patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests how a common anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) affects a protein called periostin, which may be linked to spine problems. It could help people with herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a herniated disc in your lower back or a narrowed spinal canal
- You have had an MRI of your spine
- You do not have common allergic conditions like asthma, eczema, or hay fever
- You have not had back surgery in the last 6 months
- You do not have serious health issues like heart disease, kidney disease, or cancer

This study looks at how a protein called periostin relates to back function and quality of life in people with disc herniations or spinal stenosis. You'll fill out two questionnaires and have your periostin measured from a blood draw or MRI.
This study looks at a protein called periostin in the discs of the lower back to see if it relates to how worn down the discs are, which might help improve future treatments.
This trial studies whether taking an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID) can reduce hip or knee osteoarthritis pain during walking. It may help people who have had walking pain for at least 3 months and don’t already take NSAIDs.
This trial tests whether taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) helps people with axial spondyloarthritis stay in remission and avoid future flare-ups. It’s meant to see if NSAIDs can reduce the chance of symptoms returning and keep disease activity low over time.
This trial is testing a treatment approach for people with long-lasting, painful worn-out discs in the lower back (and sometimes leg pain). It looks for people who tried common non-surgical options without enough relief and who may be headed toward a lumbar procedure.
This study is testing whether changes in pain after a steroid injection into the spine can predict how well the treatment works. You may be eligible if you have a slipped disc in your lower back that causes at least moderate pain, and other treatments haven't helped enough.
