study.
| Plain
English Summary: |
This
study examined the safety and usefulness of vitamin
b12 for low back pain associated with lumbago. A total
of 60 adults with either lumbago or sciatic neuritis,
all who did not need surgery to correct the problem
participated in this study. A subjective pain rating
was taken before the study, and again at the end.
Vitamin b12 was found to help at reducing lower back
pain associated with lumbago, as well as reducing
the need for consumption of paramectol. Vitamin b12
has been proven to be a pain reliever, and is safe
and well tolerated. |
