Emergency medicine clinicians are excellent at identifying and treating physical trauma as a chief complaint, but are often unaware of patients’ previous experiences of trauma. The purpose of this study was to describe emergency department (ED) patients’ lifetime experiences of trauma.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line medication for acute low back pain (LBP). It is unclear if the choice of NSAID impacts outcomes. We compared ibuprofen, ketorolac, and diclofenac for the treatment of acute, nonradicular LBP.
