In addition, 51 patients received a single dose of 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine and a vial of 6 capsules containing 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine to take every 8 hours as needed after discharge from the ED; the remaining 51 patients received an identically labeled placebo capsule and vial of placebo capsules to take every 8 hours as needed after discharge from the ED. Patients rated the intensity of their pain on a mm visual analog scale VAS at baseline; 30, 60, 90, , and minutes; and 24 and 48 hours after treatment.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Pain scores improved significantly over 7 days in all three groups and did not differ among groups. Adverse effects were minimal and included dizziness in four patients who received cyclobenzaprine alone or with ibuprofen and nausea in one patient who received ibuprofen alone.
A small dose of cyclobenzaprine was used in this study, perhaps to avoid the anticholinergic, antihistaminic, and sedative side effects of this drug, which is closely related chemically to tricyclic antidepressants. No convincing evidence supports the use of cyclobenzaprine in painful musculoskeletal conditions, and the drug's benefit-to-adverse effect profile therefore argues against prescribing it. Most patients with cervical strain will get better.
