Study Summary

Purpose: This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the effects of three different medications for acute low back pain (LBP):Ketorolac, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac Hypothesis: A daily regimen of ketorolac will provide greater relief of LBP than ibuprofen or diclofenac 5 days after an emergency department (ED) visit, as measured by the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMQ)

Primary Outcome
