Outcome measures included total back pain, nocturnal back pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, the Short Form 36 health survey to assess physical and mental status, and patient global assessment. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index scores were also assessed before and after the therapy. The Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada scoring method was used to evaluate spinal MRI changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Celecoxib showed a superior effect on total back pain, ODI, BASDAI, nocturnal back pain, and patient global assessment, compared to acetaminophen (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The number of patients with a significant change in back pain scales was higher in the celecoxib arm (ODI 34.8% versus 4.5%, nocturnal back pain 41.7% versus 9.1%, total back pain 33.3% versus 9.1%, and BASDAI 30.4% versus 9.1%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01 for all). The responsiveness to celecoxib, calculated by Guyatt's Responsiveness Index, was 1.62, 1.28, 1.27, and 0.58 for the ODI, total back pain, BASDAI, and nocturnal back pain, respectively.

Inflammatory lesions of sacroiliac joints and spine are commonly seen in nonspecific low back pain, but these lesions did not change with either celecoxib or acetaminophen treatments and were not associated with clinical response to either agent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.22753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,16]],"date-time":"2015-10-16T15:56:36Z","timestamp":1445010996000},"page":"845-852","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Clinical Efficacy of Celecoxib Compared to Acetaminophen in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Mohamed K.","family":"Bedaiwi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and King Saud University, King Khalid University Hospital Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismail","family":"Sari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of\u2003Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Dokuz Eylul University Izmir Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dinny","family":"Wallis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Finbar D.","family":"O'shea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and St. James\u2019 Hospital Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Salonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nigil","family":"Haroon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Omar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert D.","family":"Inman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"1571","article-title":"Prevalence of disabilities and associated health conditions among adults: United States, 1999","volume":"285","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2001","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(94)00272-G"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200102013440508"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-147-7-200710020-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinternmed.2008.543"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.E.01273"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198802043180506"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199510053331406"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.39001"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","first-page":"S1","article-title":"Scientific approach to the assessment and management of activity\u2010related spinal disorders: a monograph for clinicians.
