Summary
Obtain informed consent from patients with lumbar facet joint syndrome and, after enrollment, randomly assign them to Group A (Joins®) or Group B (Placebo). According to the allocation in each group, participants are instructed to take Joins® 200mg 1 tablet three times a day or placebo 1 tablet three times a day from day 1. Research subjects visit at 4-week intervals a total of 3 times (4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks) to collect various measurement variables. Both the test and control groups are observed during the period of taking the investigational medication without any changes or additional facet joint-related procedures (medial branch block, facet joint block). Acetaminophen is allowed as a rescue medication.
