  • Subject has chief complaint of musculoskeletal pain lasting less than or equal to 7 days
  • Subject's area of greatest pain isolated to one body part
  • Subject does not have prior Emergency Department visits recorded on electronic medical records for the chief complaint

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has absolute contraindications to study medications, including anaphylaxis to lidocaine or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, history of active GI bleeding or recent coronary artery bypass graft surgery precluding nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications, severe hepatic disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis in current chart or prior history or elevation in liver function tests to clinically significant levels in past 6 months), severe kidney disease (Creatinine clearance less than 30 milliliters or history of chronic kidney disease stage 3 or worse), congestive heart failure.
  • Subject has medication contraindications such as concurrent use of medications listed: Alcuronium, Amphotericin B, Amprenavir, Atracurium, Cimetidine, Edrophonium, Enflurane, Fosphenytoin, Halothane, Nadolol, Oxprenolol, Pentazocine, Propafenone

  • Subject has received opioid medication in triage area or within 4 hours of initial treatment
  • Subject is unable to give pain scores due to mental status
  • Subject's initial numerical pain scale score of 0 (which would constitute "no pain" on the scale)
  • Subject requires opiate medication or muscle relaxants (Flexeril, Valium, Tizanidine, Robaxin etc) during the initial visit to Emergency department at the discretion of the provider.
  • Subjects who received less than 800 miligram oral dosage of ibuprofen in triage

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen & Lidocaine Patch 4%

Arm Description

Ibuprofen 800mg every 8 hours for 3 days

Ibuprofen 800mg every 8 hours for 3 days and Lidocaine patch 4% 1 patch applied for 12 hours then removed for 12 hours, for 3 days

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Numerical Pain Rating Scale
Change in self-reported pain intensity level. Baseline will be prior to intervention, and change will be assessed 30 minutes and 60 minutes after intervention, and at discharge. A repeat pain intensity level will also be asked 48-72 hours after discharge. This measure will also examine change of baseline numerical score from initial visit. Each item is scored 0-10 (0=No pain, 10= Worst pain possible).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Questionnaire (Yes or No) of Return Visit for Same Chief Complaint
Questionnaire (Yes or No) of whether a return visit to either the emergency department or primary care offices occurred within 1 week for same chief complaint from the initial visit

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study evaluates the addition of a lidocaine patch to ibuprofen in the treatment of acute musculoskeletal pains. Half of the participants will get only ibuprofen for their pain, while other half will receive lidocaine patch plus the ibuprofen. After addition of the pain medications, the participants will be followed for their pain scores and return visits.
Detailed Description
Ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory pain medications have been traditionally used for relief of mild to moderate acute musculoskeletal pains. However, if this medication did not work, a different modality for pain control would be added to the original regimen. In recent times, lidocaine patch has been introduced as a separate modality for pain control. This medication is thought to help by selectively inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels in nociceptors involved in pain response. Given the separate modality, it would be prudent to see whether the addition of lidocaine patch to the ibuprofen would help relieve the pain moreso than the antiinflammatory-only regimen.
