Study Finds Common Back Pain Treatment Doesn't Offer Relief

A commonly prescribed treatment for people suffering from chronic back pain may not be providing any relief.

A new review suggests that antidepressants when prescribed for chronic pain, provide little to no back pain relief.

The review did find that the medications could however offer a modest benefit for osteoarthritis and sciatica.

Their review looked at data from 33 clinical trials studying the use of antidepressants for chronic pain.
