Pilot Study of Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Neck Pain

NCT00030004 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Summary

This study is designed to determine whether a medicine that can produce temporary amnesia (midazolam) can be used to block the memory of treatment with spinal manipulation. This is important since any study that is designed to determine whether spinal manipulation is effective would be better if patients were not aware of whether or not they were treated. This would allow a true assessment of treatment effects without the complication of a strong placebo effect that manipulative treatment may produce.
