Eli Lilly’s efforts to expand indications for duloxetine got a mixed response from an FDA advisory panel, who voted in favor of the drug for low back pain but against it for osteoarthritis. Medscape Medical News (Source: Medscape Today Headlines)

Horizon Scanning: FDA panel supports extension to use of duloxetine (Cymbalta)
Source: Reuters Area: News Reuters reports that a United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) advisory panel has supported an extension to the licensed indication for duloxetine (Cymbalta?) to include chronic back pain.

Physical conditioning programs for improving work outcomes among workers with back pain.

Physical conditioning programs for improving work outcomes among workers with back pain.
CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of physical conditioning programs in reducing sick leave for workers with back pain remains uncertain. For acute back pain, these programs probably have no effect; for subacute back pain, the effect is unclear, and for chronic back pain there is a small effect at one year follow-up that does not last in the long run. Remaining heterogeneity could not be explained by meta-regression. A better understanding of the mechanism behind physical conditioning programs and return to work is needed to develop more effective interventions.
